Kids have boundless energy at camp, so why not channel it into a mini “Campground Olympics”? These simple games can be played with minimal gear and are a great way to get the whole family moving.
Events might include a three-legged race (use bandanas to tie legs together), a log-balancing challenge, a rock toss, or even a silly face contest. Let kids create their own events or come up with wacky rules. Older kids can keep score and help organize the competitions.
Make sure everyone has a chance to win — it’s not about who’s fastest, but about who can come up with the best victory dance or funniest team name. Wrap up with medals or prizes like a marshmallow treat or getting to choose the first s’more. It’s laughter, movement, and memories in one!
