Waiting for your flight at DEN? Fret not for Camp DEN is here!
Here are some activities to get your creative juices flowing:
The DEN tents echo the peaks of the Rocky Mountains and Native American teepees. Make your own version of the DEN tents! Get out the construction paper – or any paper for that matter. Use popsicle sticks, paperclips and other arts and craft materials you have around the house to create your own DEN tents. Let your creativity fly!
Grab a piece of scrap paper and get to folding. Create your own DEN-designed paper airplane and let’s see how far it can fly. Looking for inspiration? Check out these paper aircraft templates and find one that works for you.
