Kids Camping Activities + Crafts

If you love going outdoors for a good nature scavenger hunt with the kids, I have four fun outdoor scavenger hunt ideas for you today – color, senses ABCs, and of course a traditional one! Each one is better suited for different age groups (IE the picture one is best for little kids while the written ABC one is fun practice for older kids!) These nature scavenger hunts are fairly general, so they should fit most areas. However, if you find there’s something that isn’t in your area, just sub … Read more

If you’re looking for a fun popsicle stick and pipe cleaner camp craft with the kids, try making a few of these camp story sticks! We were creating bridges and things with our popsicle sticks and pipecleaners, then I decided to try to make a butterfly because my girls love them. We then made a little story about the butterfly, where he flew, etc and they loved being able to hold the butterfly the whole time we were story telling. Then it hit me… I could make a whole set … Read more

If you love camping games, then you’ll love this set of camping charades! We always use camping as a time to reconnect to one another – this is especially true if we have no cell signal!

I played alot of charades as a kid, and figured that my own would … Read more
