Camping Games Provide Fun and Entertainment

Even the most avid campers may suffer from boredom occasionally, especially young children who are constantly hoping to stay active during the trip.

Once they tire of fishing and hiking, parents may want to involve them in some camping games to provide fun as well of some learning activities to help pass the time. Unless the family has brought their own games from home, they will have to improvise with whatever the camping area provides to devise their own camping games.

In camping areas where several families are close together, playing camping games is considerably easier as they can involve different people. A simple game of kick-the-can or hide-and-seek can provide hours of fun for everyone in the game.

For smaller groups, a parent can devise a list of items typically found in the campground or on the trail and host a scavenger hunt. In these types of camping games, it is important to not allow small children to venture too far away from the parent’s campsite.

All Games Should Stress Safety Among Participants

Water baseball is one of the most commonly played of the camping games, using a lightweight ball that still floats and a small plastic bat. However, only children who are excellent swimmers should participate in these camping games, and only under adult supervision. Ideally, it is played with home plate and the bases in water not more than about a foot deep and the fun begins when someone hits the ball and tries to run the bases.

In larger campgrounds, camping games can include having the kids venture through the camp to see how many different license plates they can find within a limited area. They can use a pencil and paper to track their progress.

Be mindful of others: when playing camping games, respect for others in the campground should always be practiced. Loud laughter and running can be fun for those participating in the games, but those other campers trying to take a nap may not be appreciative.

The best advice is to plan ahead. . . bring a variety of games that can be played while riding along as well as game equipment that can be enjoyed in the great outdoors.
