Songs
It's always great when you can sing together and everyone has the words. That's why it's very handy to have a few songs in your camp notebook. You can copy these with or without guitar chords.
Legally, this is even allowed if you are the Jungschar of a FEG (Free Evangelical Church) or another church that has this license. To be on the safe side, you can add a sentence like, "Caution: parts of this booklet may be legally protected and may not be copied!" to the camp booklet.
Here are a few song suggestions:

Tick Info
Here is an example of what a tick info might look like for participants:
I am a tick and as big as the head of a pin and am also called a wood tick. I am from the arachnid family.
My strength is a high adaptability in terms of height and humidity. I prefer the moisture of the soil. I find this especially in the undergrowth of forests, where I wait for my prey. I crawl on branches and leaves of undergrowth and low forest shrubs, but go no more than 80 cm from the ground and certainly never on trees.
My weakness is sucking blood from a passing host. I cling to it and look for a suitable place to sting. I don't like it when people always say "I bite". I don't bite, I sting! And I like to do that into unprotected human skin. I know that people do not love me because I can transmit pathogens that can lead to sometimes dangerous diseases.
To protect myself from people's anger, I am careful and camouflage myself. So I am small, so you can hardly see me. My sting does not hurt and I mainly sting in hidden places like the back of the knees, pubic area, belly button, armpits, back of the shoulders, neck or behind the ears. In other words, in places where humans can't detect me. 80% of all my stings are undetectable. So I look forward to every person who roams through the undergrowth without adequate clothing protection.
Search yourselves or each other in the evening while putting on your pajamas and report immediately to a leader if you think you have found a tick!
