Boot Camp: Preparations

Where do you start?  I think the place to begin is with the materials.  Just what goods are needed?  It is important to estimate the number of children, teens, and adults who will participate.  Some items should be ordered well in advance: white hatscanvas boards, and Camo spray paint.  I shopped ebay for months to find a deal on painter caps to spray paint Camo.  I ordered 100 because I could use them at Holy Redeemer 's VBS and two science camps I am running this summer.  The canvas boards were on sale when I ordered 100 of them, too.  We modge-podge photos of the children to the boards; they look a bit like photo canvases and serve as souvenirs.  Most of the materials can be assembled one month in advance.  I run a final check one week out and then recheck each day of VBS to ensure we have everything for the next day.
