Malabrigo Summer Camp - 2012

Hi Campers!  
Welcome to the Malabrigo Summer Camp! We're glad that you chose to join us for a summer of fun!

Camp Expectations:
  • Minimum package value = $40 + shipping
  • Must include 2-3 skeins of malabrigo (no MORE or LESS) - this limit includes any knitting/crocheting you do for your partner. i.e. if a hat takes 1 skein, you can only send an additional 1-2 skeins.
  • The mandatory stalking period runs through June 30th- packages may NOT be sent till after the 30th.
  • All packages must be sent by August 1st (this is a Wednesday).
  • You must respond to all the Mandatory Question & Check In threads w/in 3 days. (unless you have permission from the swap mods- i.e. you will be on a pre-planned internet free vacation)- these threads are posted frequently, so you HAVE to be checking ravelry at least every other day.
  • If you do not complete the questions, and are not responding to moderator PMs & emails, you face possible expulsion from the swap group, and having your name added to the Ravelry "naughty swapper" list.
  • Moderators WILL be checking the Naughty Swapper list before approving camper's registrations.
Camper Responsibilities:
  • You will need to spend 30+ minutes on the board at least every other day answering questions - the required Mod-posted questions AND questions asked in your group threads.
  • If you do not do this, you'll get "poked" by your moderator.  We don't like to poke people, please make our lives easier and answer the questions in your group threads.
  • The best and most loved packages in this swap are the ones that were personal. That is what the swap is all about - getting to know someone and creating a package that is better than one they would have picked out for themselves. We joke that its find & sending the thing that the person didn't even know that they needed, yet now can't imagine living without. 
Summer Camp Options:
  • Sci Fi/Fantasy Camp - This camp is for those who could spend hours/days/weeks discussing all things Sci Fi/Fantasy.
  • Sewing Camp - This camp is for new or experienced seamstresses - your package will include fabric & fiber.
  • Book Camp - This camp is for the book lovers (paper & e-books).
  • Foodie/Baking/Cooking Camp - This camp is for those who love food, either pre-made or making it themselves.
Campers are expected to send packages that are in the theme of their camp.

Please let us know if you are unable to complete the swap - at anytime after registration. We will work to re-assign your partner.

Make sure you complete both steps of the registration process- you will NOT be fully registered until you complete both steps.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED!

We can't wait to see you all at camp!

My favorite picnic food is dilled tuna on bagel chips and sliced cucumbers. Weird I know, but we always take it on picnics. Finger foods and no cleanup!

My favorite camp food is banana boats, bananas stuffed with things like red hot candies, chocolate chips, and marshmallows wrapped in foil and tossed on the campfire coals. Yum!

I'm GuapaM and my favourite campfire food is "Stockbrot" - bread dough you put on a branch and toast it over the fire. Usually the outside is burnt and the inside is raw, but it's such good fun. Is there an English word for it?

My favorite campfire food is whatever alcohol I've managed to trek in with me. Actually, I detest camping but I still adore a good drink by the outside firepit.

Peacock41...My favorite camp food for car camping is probably chips and homemade salsa...and for backpacking it's a good self-compiled batch of trail mix, or dehydrated fruit.

Hi,
My favorite camp food is s'mores although I really don't like camping, I am much more of a beach person! I do my s'mores in the microwave!

crazyl said...

I'm not a camper in real life, but love me a good pasta salad (no mayo!!!) and an ice cold beer at picnics and cookouts.

Sam said...

Favorite camp food was the cereal. I never got sugary cereal at home but every year at camp I loaded up until I burst.

WritingMom said...

Smores and watermelon...delicious!

Randomly enough, I hate eating outside. Therefore, I will say that tea from Tim Hortons is my favourite, as I enjoy getting a big cup to take on walks.

If I must choose a 'summer' food, then cucumber salad :)
