I need some good ideas for my project– what are some good camp activities?
I am doing a project, where we have to make a fake camp for fifth graders. And I have only been to camp once, so I have no idea what to put for camp activies. I mean my group has like some sports, arts and crafts, camp fire stuff, swimming, canoeing and stuff. Some activites that arent complicated. Thank you!

making s’mores, relays, making forts out of sheets, climbing trees, hiking, and nature walks are really fun.
I go to camp and these are a few
tp game
–> you pass a role of toilet paper around and they pick as many as they want (unless you have alot of kids then get a couple roles and say between 2-20 or somethin like that) then go around and they persons turn it is says there name and then one about them selvs for each piece they get its a good game to learn about the people camp
toilet tag is always a funny game to play & its easy.
–> its just like freeze tag but when ur tagged you have to squat down and put ur hands in a circle to look like a toilet and to be untagged someone has to flush you! hahaa
the stand up game
–>Two players sit back to back with legs stretched out in front of them. They must try to stand up without using their arms.
Statues
–> All players move about while music is playing. As soon as the music stops, everyone must “freeze” in the positions they are, like statues. The person who moves last is eliminated from that round. To make the game more difficult, the players can be told what movements they should do while the music is playing.
Sit Down Quick
–>All players move about while music is playing. As soon as the music stops, everyone must quickly sit down (on the seat of his pants) on the ground. The last player to sit down is eliminated from the round.
Widest smile, most evil grin
–>Which member of the group can pull the widest smile or the most evil grin?
dont know that this game is called, but
–> stand in a tightly enclosed circle with one person in the middle. the person in the middle states something that they like or that they do. so, if i said “my favorite color is blue,” everyone in the circle who’s fav. color is blue has to switch spots with someone else who’s fav. color is blue and the person left without a spot has to go to the middle next. or it can be a place they have been or anything like that
2 Truths and a Lie
–> Each player writes 2 truths and 1 lie on a piece of paper. The other players must guess which are truths and which are lies. This game can be started with one player, continuing in a clock-wise direction.
Ha Ha Ha
–> All players lie on their backs next to each other. The first person lays his hand on the tummy of the person next to him and laughs one time saying “Ha”. The second person does the same, but instead says “Ha Ha”. The play continues in this fashion. A player is out when he laughs (not in turn), or doesn’t say the right number of Ha’s. When one player is left, he is the winner.
Camp Alphabet
–> One player begins: I will take to camp an apple. The next player repeats this sentence and adds another article which begins with the next letter of the alphabet – I will take to camp an apple and a bag. The game continues until a player gets confused, forgets or says the wrong articles.
I hope at least some of these are what you are looking for!! here are a few websites i found too…
