Summer Camp Activities

Summer camp activities can be more than just for camp. Explore the outdoors at home with free printables and activities to get the kids moving. If they’re heading off to camp print these summer camp activities before they head off.

Start off with printing and completing the Summer Camp Packing Checklist. Make sure you have all the items packed for summer camp fun, because you don’t want to forget some of the most important items .  Print off some games before you head off to camp or the cottage for rainy days to help keep the kids entertained. When the weather is good, get the kids moving with scavenger hunt games.

Don’t forget to print the Summer Camp Journal for the kids to record all their fun activities to share.  Challenge the kids with their writing skills where they can write about fun camping activities in these Summer Campground Journals.  After the kids write about their activities, they can rate them by filling in the little hearts under each activity. Kids can draw a picture or paste a photo of their new friends to complete the journals.

Scavenger Hunts

Fun Scavenger Hunt games for the campers to get them moving.  Start off with the Camp Scavenger Hunt Game where all the campers look around the camp for items that they check off the scavenger list.  Most importantly, campers can work in groups or as single scavengers.  See who can find all the items first.

Get the kids hunting for bugs and record each bug detail on the Bug Catching Explorer Activity sheet.  Bring the campers on a Bird Watching Expedition and have them record all the details on the birds they saw with the Bird Watching Explorer Activity.   Have the campers admire the wild flowers that grow around the campground and in the forest with the Flower Explorer Activity. Kids will certainly learn so much from just exploring nature and its beautiful surroundings.
