Here's a couple of themes to get you going and thinking.
There are so many ideas and possibilities that you could
make with each theme. From television shows, to recent movies
even a Biblical theme, the ideas are endless!
Do you have a theme that ran really well? Share it to the
rest of the world here. Here's a few that did great with
how they were done, or could be done.
Before going any further, I must let you know about how
ESA camps are generally run, as you know what is going on
with themes etc. At the start of camp, we 'dress up' a foyer
area where they book in etc.. We also fill up a hall adjoining
it with theme stuff. So, as soon as campers arrive, they
are faced with the theme straight away. This is how the
building looks.

Lions and tigers and bears...Lions and tigers and bears...
Well, there weren't any tigers or bears, only a cowardly
lion. We based the camp on the Wizard of Oz. Due to the
recent Harry Potter phenominin, it was decided against to
having the word 'wizard' in the theme, so we changed it
to The Journey to Emerald City.
Apon arrival, we blacked out the windows between the foyer
and the main hall with black plastic and decorated the interior
to resemble 'Munchkin Land', as shown in the picture below.

The kids loved this word. There were tents and 'dwellings'
throughout the place. The kids had to leave the road,
which was 'birthday greeting card chrome left-overs',
and find out their lodge, duty group, and a memory
verse. The mushroom and various other things seen
here are painted cardboard. There is coloured material
(red, yellow, blue, green etc) that covers chairs
which form tunnels to people with clues to the memory
verse, or name tag etc. It was set up so the kids
would spend at the least half an hour in Munchkin
Land, looking for their details.
We had four duty groups, Totos, Tornadoes, Munchkins
