Watching the fire and waiting to eat is called 'relaxing' by grown-ups, but 'boring' by energetic youth. Outdoor games can keep the camping trip fun and interesting. Search for the outdoor game ideas you want. Some ideas are more appropriate for older campers and different outdoor games fit your needs of being quiet, active, or loud. These are great ways to run off extra energy, build teams, have a blast, and make campers want to stay out here all summer. Your preparation for camp should most certainly include a grab bag full of fun outdoor games so you never have bored people in camp.
It's going to rain, you know it is. But, that doesn't mean all fun ends. There are camping games here that can be played inside a tent or cabin when the miserable weather rolls in. Some ideas are also intended for large groups in a gym or dining hall environment rather than being used as an outdoor game so pick a bunch of your favorites and have them ready.
And remember, these outdoor games can be used anyplace, not just at camp, for a fun time anytime.
