Right up there with the weather, food, and campfires, the camping activities you have planned will make or break a camping event. Too much free time quickly turns to boredom, especially when groups of campers are ready for a fun time. They need excitement, imagination, and challenge to keep their camping trip interesting. Luckily, it's easy for you to have a bag full of camping activity ideas ready to use at just the right time. Whether you spontaneously lead a totally silly Marshmallow competition that took no time to pull together or a well-planned seach for Uncle Zeb's treasure, your camping pals will have a blast.

There are even some you can use in the space no larger than a cramped tent. From concentrated team building goals to just plain old fun, the dozens of choices I've listed here will help you plan your camping event.

Take a peek at the few favorite camping activities I've highlighted or search through the long list of activity ideas.
