Hey Camp Highlander! Earlier this week, we announced the launch of our “CH Virtual Camp” program which begins this Monday, June 15th, at 10am! Over the next seven weeks, we’ll be going live with seven different camp-themed activities for you to participate in. If you complete at least five of these activities, you will receive the once-in-a-lifetime ‘Virtual Master of the Mills’ award! Our first activity? Baking with Melissa and Mrs. Kaye! If you want to participate in this activity, please read all the details below and respond accordingly. We hope to see you Monday morning!

When is the first activity?

Our first activity will be this Monday, June 15th, at 10am (EST).

Who can participate?

Any camper-aged child (5-16) who was eligible to attend Camp Highlander this summer!

How do we participate?

PARENTS/GUARDIANS of any camper(s) who are eligible to participate and want to join in on the fun, please email adam@camphighlander.com from the email address to which you want us to send the Zoom invite. Be sure to include your children’s names and ages so we know who is joining and can record their participation credit. For CAMPERS who want to join, please ask YOUR PARENTS/GUARDIANS to email adam@camphighlander.com on your behalf, so we can send them the Zoom link.

How will the activity work?

At 10am on Monday, June 15th, Melissa and Mrs. Kaye will go live on Zoom! They will lead a baking activity (just like we do at the Kamper Kitchen) teaching you how to make the world-famous and scrumptiously delicious Camp Highlander Buttermilk Brownies! Once your PARENTS/GUARDIANS email us to let us know you want to participate, we will send them the link for this Zoom meeting so you can join in.

What if we are not available at 10am on Monday, or if the Zoom meeting reaches capacity and we can’t get in?

No worries! We know your schedule might not line up with ours, and we DO have a capacity limit on our Zoom account, so if you miss the live activity class on Monday, we’ll be posting the recorded video afterward for you. You can watch the video, follow along, and bake up some delicious brownies on your own, then send us a picture/video of your participation and we’ll count it towards your Master of the Mills!

Since we’re making buttermilk brownies, what ingredients do we need to have on hand?

Great question! The ingredients you’ll need are:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• Sugar
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Water
• 3 sticks of butter
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Eggs
• Buttermilk
• Vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar
• Heavy whipping cream

If you don’t have any of the above ingredients, be sure to pick some up over the weekend!

And that’s it’s it! If you want to join us for the first ever CH Virtual Camp Activity THIS MONDAY (June 15th) at 10am, have your parents/guardians email adam@camphighlander.com with your name and age, and we’ll send them the Zoom link in response! Then, be sure to tune in on Monday morning as Melissa and Mrs. Kaye help us become professional bakers!
