Entry Background/Description:
Because it offers campers choices in music, volume, as well as location, our silent disco has become a fast favorite! This activity is inclusive in that if you like to be inside or outside, enjoy a variety of music genres, experience sensory or volume sensitivities - this works for everyone. Three very different music playlists are available to choose from on the headsets as well as volume control so participants can choose what they most enjoy and at what decibel. This activity is easily adaptable thematically as well as for those traditional group dances that everyone loves each summer! When campers were asked what they'd like to see happen again at Camp, Silent Disco has come up time and time again!
Why You Should Vote for Me:
This activity can take place indoors or outdoors, it offers choices, opportunities for connection, is fun, inclusive, and adaptable.
To watch our community interact during this activity is something to see. When someone realizes they are listening to the same song, they very quickly connect and enjoy dancing and singing together. You see this happen throughout the event with various groups because of the three channels. The smiles are priceless as is taking off your headset for a minute to take in all of the singing happening - with no back up track. It's always fun to be able to tune all three channels in to bring everyone together for the group dances that have become traditions as well!
