9:00 p.m. Directors Briefing and Studio Tour: Explain to the cubs (roughly) what we will be doing during the upcoming week and explain the week's theme. Please ensure that we have a tour of the campsite to let the cubs know where everything is and what is ‘out of bounds'.

10:00 p.m. Night Exercises: The cubs will not go to sleep early on the first night anyway, so we are going to go to bed a little later. The period after supper can be spent doing energetic exercises and ‘mini-games' in order to try to take some of the excess energy out of their system.
