Family Fun in the Great Outdoors: Camping Games for All Ages

Camping is a fantastic way for families to bond and create lasting memories in the great outdoors. While being surrounded by nature and unplugging from the digital world is a big part of the appeal, keeping everyone entertained during a camping trip can be a challenge. That's where camping games for all ages come to the rescue. In this article, we'll explore a variety of camping games suitable for everyone, ensuring that your outdoor adventure is not just a scenic retreat but also an exciting playtime paradise.

1. Scavenger Hunt

A classic camping game, the scavenger hunt is perfect for all ages. Create a list of items commonly found in your camping area, such as pinecones, specific leaves, rocks, or even wildlife tracks. Provide a container for collecting treasures, like a small bag or a bucket. This game not only keeps kids engaged but also teaches them about the local flora and fauna.

2. Nature Bingo

Nature bingo is a delightful way to engage with the natural world. Create bingo cards with pictures or descriptions of items or creatures commonly found in your camping area. Players mark off the items they spot, competing to be the first to call out "Bingo!" This game encourages observation and appreciation of the environment.

3. Flashlight Tag

As the sun sets and darkness falls, flashlight tag is an exciting way to continue the fun. One player is designated as "it" and given a flashlight. The other players must avoid being tagged by the beam of light. When someone is tagged, they become the new "it." This game is a thrilling way to enjoy the camping experience after sunset.

4. Campfire Stories

Gather around the campfire and share spooky or funny stories. Each family member can take turns telling a tale. This not only entertains but also promotes creativity and storytelling skills. Remember to keep the stories age-appropriate and not too scary for younger campers.

5. Rock Painting

Embrace your artistic side by collecting rocks and painting them with fun designs. Use natural materials like sticks, leaves, and mud as your paintbrushes. You can use these decorated rocks as campsite decorations or leave them behind as a hidden surprise for other campers to discover.

6. Frisbee or Disc Golf

Pack a frisbee or two for a game of catch, or set up a makeshift disc golf course using natural landmarks as your "holes." This game encourages physical activity and enhances hand-eye coordination, making it suitable for older kids and adults alike.

7. Bird Watching

Bring along a pair of binoculars and a bird identification book to engage in bird watching. Keep a checklist of the species you spot and learn more about the local avian inhabitants. This activity is not only educational but also a peaceful way to connect with nature.

8. Nature Art

Encourage your family to create art with materials found in nature. Gather colorful leaves, flowers, and sticks to make vibrant, temporary masterpieces on the ground. You can also create nature-inspired sculptures by stacking rocks or making stick structures.

9. DIY Scavenger Hunt

Challenge your family to create their own scavenger hunt for each other. Each member can take turns developing a list of items or clues for others to find. This game fosters creativity and critical thinking while ensuring everyone is involved in the fun.

10. Stump the Stars

Lay out under the night sky and play "Stump the Stars." This game involves picking a star and challenging others to identify it or ask questions about it. It's a great way to introduce kids to astronomy and spark their curiosity about the universe.

Camping is a perfect opportunity to escape the daily grind and reconnect with nature, and incorporating fun camping games can elevate the experience for the whole family. From scavenger hunts to stargazing challenges, these activities offer entertainment for all ages while promoting a love for the outdoors and environmental awareness. So, pack up your gear and embark on a camping adventure that's not only filled with scenic beauty but also family-friendly fun.

total drama horror au where after the "contestants" were chosen, chris kidnapped them and dumped them on an island to compete in death games against each other whilst broadcasting it to the masses livestream style. they're forced to comply with their "host" or else their food/living accommodations are stripped away and they're left to fend for themselves in the forest, but participating in the challenges is arguably more dangerous.

each elimination ceremony is taken to it's literal extreme, as the voted out player is just straight up executed on the spot.

the audience think it's some sort of ARG type deal at first, with the campers being actors, but eventually- probably by the first on-screen death- people catch on to it being Very Real.

(chris funds this little 'project' himself mr beast style using his vast amount of tv star wealth, so there's no network/producers that he has to answer to.)

#i imagine the stream isn't on 24/7 but they ARE being recorded even when the footage isn't live #at first the viewers are like “woah this is some impressive acting. how has no one broken character yet?" #especially when. say. cody gets mauled by a bear on stream. people are like “those are impressive SFX 😲” #because they're under the assumption that these are just Really Good Method Actors. chris is transparent about what's going on from-- #the start but the audience thinks it's all fake because Who In Their Right Mind Would Actually Do That Sort Of Thing (chris would) #eventually people start to catch on that it Isn't Fake and that these kids really are in REAL DANGER 🤯😬 #also the challenges are less summer campy and more actively fatal. (the cliff dive stays the same though) #au ends when a rescue operation finally tracks down the island and evacs the survivors (Sanders and MacArthur cameo❓) #it's giving a weird fusion of squid game and danganronpa #i mean he essentially does this in canon anyway what with none of them anticipating being at camp wawanakwa #total drama #total drama au #kinda drafty in here (posts from the drafts)

Hey, so for the Human Au, how do think Julie would go about her life? Considering her personality in the website, I would think that he takes up different part-time jobs, but mainly likes working at the community center, mainly for the summer/after school programs where they can come up with and host fun activities for the kids!

no yeah that's pretty much what i was thinking! she bounces from job to job - she probably has a roster of seasonal ones that she rotates between. Julie really does seem like an every-gal yk? doing just one thing all the time would be soooo boring

i like the idea of summer / after school programs a lot actually! since canon Julie is big on games and fun, i'm sure she'd be a great choice for those sorts of things. i bet she works a seasonal summer camp in their county!

#also it would be a cute frank-julie bestie thing #cause frank is a university professor #so then julie being in the education system as a camp counselor / school programs person whatever brains not braining rn #I Just Think It Would Be Sweet! and Fitting! #part of me wants to change Frank from university professor to like a uhhh elementary school teacher #but nah. but lets just say the local schools will have field trips and uh. idk a 'bug day' #yk how kindergartens and elementary schools would sometimes have a giant snake brought in or whatever #well i imagine that in this au frank keeps insects as 'pets' #(not pets as in companion animal but. he has a lot of arthropod tanks in his house lol) #so maybe a couple times a year he gets to interact with kids and julie's probably there too! #ohhhh maybe sometimes he'll go to the summer camp for like. education day or whatever #to talk about insects and animal safety or somethn #he's out there with a tarantula chilling on his head... #most of the kids are disinterested but one or two are so Intrigued and its. adorable. anyway this is about julie #rambles from the bog #wh modern human au #i like to think that both julie and barnaby have seasonal jobs at the county fair #it just lasts a few weeks but they have a good time! barnaby can put his clowning degree to Use! #but im having a great time picturing julie coming up with games and stuff and putting it to good use! #i bet she'd be great at finding compromises and solutions to those Schoolyard Problems yk #i said schoolyard problems and flashbacked to the multiple bad injuries at my elementary. & the seizure in hs... #hm. i saw a lot of serious shit. anyhow not the point #i bet julie is that one guy where whenever someone brings up an odd job she's like 'yeah ive done that' #slingin ice cream? catering? florist delivery? doughnut baker? budtender? running bingo night? Yes To It All! #i bet that in a way... howdy is jealous...

Heyy Jess for the prompt game can you do list #72 numbers 6&7 with established relationship bf!changbin x gf!reader??🫶🏼🍓

SKZ PROMPT GAME

Prompts: "The only thing that never disappoints, is your ability to disappoint."

"You're incredible." "Aw thanks!" "Not a compliment babe."

Member: Seo Changbin

Relationship: Established GF!FemReader x BF!Changbin

Genre: Fluff

"How sure are we that this is actually where we're supposed to be?" You question skeptically, stopping for a breather, adjusting the heavy backpack higher on your shoulders.

Your boyfriend looks up from the map, squinting at your surroundings for a minute, before he glances back at you from further up the trail, a long suffering expression on his face.

"C'mon, baby. Have I ever willingly led you astray before?"

You take a gulp from your water bottle and stare him down blankly.

"Are you sure you want me to answer that question?"

Changbin chuckles, and comes back to you, map still held loosely in one fist. He presses a quick kiss to the tip of your nose, and readjusts your sunhat on your head with a fond look.

"We're almost there. I promise."

You heave a sigh and hoist the backpack higher on your aching shoulders once more, nodding at him to continue.

"Fine. Lead the way."

********************************************************************************

"Oh my god." You groan, several hours of hiking later, dropping the heavy backpack onto the pebbled shore of the lake with a thump and instantly collapsing down on the nearest stump. "You're a slave driver."

Changbin stands, peering over the lake, looking less than winded, and when he turns to you with a smile and cocked brow, you kind of want to punch him in the face.

"We made it before sunset though, yeah? Now all that's left is to set up camp, put up the tent, make a fire, cook some dinner-"

"Oh my god." You repeat again, lying back on the log and throwing a hand over your eyes. "I like camping and hiking as much as the next person, but all of that currently sounds entirely exhausting."

Changbin chuckles, and you hear his hiking boots crunch across the rocks toward you. His warm hand comes up to uncover your eyes, and you shoot him a halfhearted glare.

"Baby." He crouches down beside you, leaning forward to brush some stringy hair back from your forehead, his head cocked adorably. "I promise you, this is gonna be the best, most relaxing weekend ever. Just me and you."

You stare at him for a moment, his words settling over you, seeping into your bones, and finally, you let out a resigned sigh and say weakly, "You think they deliver pizza up here?"

Changbin laughs, patting your thigh, before he pushes himself to his feet again. "Not a chance."

You groan, and force yourself to stand and begin unpacking your backpack.

********************************************************************************

A rumble of distant thunder rolls across the sky, and Changbin looks up from stoking the tiny fire with slight concern in his eyes, brow furrowed.

You follow his gaze, noting the rapidly gathering dark clouds across the lake.

"Yikes." You remark, pulling on your socks and shoes again now that your feet have been sufficiently warmed. "Someone isn't thrilled we're here."

Changbin slides his gaze to you, his expression confused. "What?"

You motion toward the incoming storm, the wind picking up, rustling your hair and threatening to put out Changbin's pathetic flame.

"The gods of the mountains or whatever. They're obviously pissed we decided to encroach on their sacred land." You lean forward and poke at the dwindling fire with a stick, watching the way the sparks jump.

"They're gonna demand a sacrifice now, because you know what they say, babe-" You hold up a finger and quote seriously, like you're repeating ancient lore. "-'Never go camping in the Gods' mountains without a prepared offering, an open heart, and a cleared schedule.'"

"That doesn't even rhyme." Changbin replies helplessly.

"It doesn't have to rhyme. It's Greek." You sniff back.

Changbin stares at you with a blank expression, a flash of lightning sweeping across his features, before he looks away, shaking his head in disbelief.

"You're incredible."

"Aw, thanks!" You hide a grin, tugging your jacket closer around you as the first few raindrops begin to fall.

Changbin sighs. "Not a compliment, babe."

A crash of thunder sounds right over your heads and has you scrambling for cover behind Changbin, your fingers gripping his coat as you duck your head into the safety of his back.

"Okay." You peer up cautiously, the rain starting to pelt your face. "We've done more than pissed them off."

"Fuck." Your boyfriend swears, abandoning the fire, quickly sizzling out in the oncoming rain, and glances out toward your campground, and the tent still wrapped up on the ground. "I knew we should've set up the tent first."

You yelp as a crack of lightning snaps across the lake. "Little late for that, babe. Let's just get it up now and get the hell inside."

Changbin stands, grabbing your hand and tucking it into the pocket of his jacket, before he leads you across the small clearing toward the waiting tent.

The rain is a downpour now, the sky thick with thunderous gray clouds, and taking a step into and against the howling wind feels like a herculean effort.

You all but close your eyes and let Changbin lead you where you need to go.

Reaching the tent, he crouches down and glances up at you, shoving a tent pole into your waiting hands.

"Start putting these together! I'll try and get the stakes in the ground!" He yells over the sound of the wind and thunder, and you nod, squinting your eyes as the rain blinds you, crouching down beside him to start putting tent poles together with numb fingers.

Another flash of lightning and Changbin has successfully unfolded the tent, but it's flapping wildly in the wind , like a captured animal trying to wriggle out of his grasp.

"Fuck." He swears, fighting with the billowing fabric, and you abandon your task to help him pin it to the ground.

"How do we set it up?" You call out over the sound of the storm, and Changbin stares down at the tent pinned beneath your bodies, curls dark and dripping, face wet with rain.

You try again. "Bin? What do we do?"

He glances up at you, eyes slightly wild. "I don't know! I haven't used this since last summer. I don't remember!"

You stare at him, mouth agape, and another boom of thunder has you frantically trying to shove a halfway finished tent pole into whatever slot of the tent you can find.

"It can't be that hard!" You reply back, more to yourself than anyone else, as you wrestle with the fabric and the pole, and succeed in only pinching one of your tingling fingers.

You swear, and drop the tent pole onto the downed tent, shooting a glare at the offending object.

The fabric is quickly growing heavy with pooled rain water.

"Fuck." Changbin swears again, and suddenly tugs the tent fabric out from beneath your bodies. He jerks his head toward the nearby towering pine trees and yells out, "C'mon! Help me get it over there!"

You duck your head against the wind, and both of you head toward the safety of the trees, the tent between you desperately trying to fly away in the wind.

You're panting and absolutely soaked by the time you reach the pines, and Changbin's hair is slicked flat against his head, the unruly curls heavy with water, his jacket dripping.

His chest heaves as you set the tent down and pin it with your feet, and you bemoan silently the puddles of water you can feel already gathering in your sopping sneakers.

"Well?" You ask, in a slightly more normal tone, the wind less noisy beneath the sheltering cover of the trees.

Changbin peers up into the threatening sky, slanting his gaze against the incoming rain.

When he looks back to you, his expression is resigned.

"We left all the rest of the tent shit over there." He motions with his head to the original scene of the struggle, and you instantly shake your head.

"No way. I'm not leaving these trees."

Changbin looks grim, staring down at the tattered tent fabric beneath your shoes.

"Right." He looks determined, glancing up at the dripping branches above your head. "We're gonna make a makeshift shelter with the fabric till the storm clears."

You stare at him.

He picks up his side of the heavy, wet tent, and with a sigh, you slowly do the same.

Following his lead, you string up the cumbersome fabric between three trees until it's sort of secure and makes a triangular, but shoddy, cover from the onslaught of the storm.

Changbin takes off his jacket and lays it on the wet, pine needle covered ground, before sliding back to position his back against a rough stump with a slight grimace.

You stand, staring at him, and he arches a brow, motioning for you to come to him.

"C'mere."

Reluctantly, you slide beneath the dripping, makeshift shelter, and settle in between his legs, leaning back against the warm strength of his chest.

His arms go around you, bare now that he's shed his jacket and is only wearing his damp t-shirt, and his skin is chilled from the rain, but you still feel warmer than before when he rests his chin on the top of your head.

"Well." He chuckles, and you feel the vibration through his chest against your back. "Definitely should've remembered the tent instructions."

You scoff, leaning your head back to glance up at him, smiling down at you.

You reach up and pat his cheek teasingly. "The only thing that never disappoints, is your ability to disappoint, babe."

"Yeah, yeah." He rolls his eyes and captures your hand, tugging it to his mouth as you squeal, lightly biting the tips of your fingers before he presses a kiss to your palm and releases you.

You glance out at the raging storm, and snuggle back against him.

"I dunno. It's kind of cozy."

Changbin snorts. "Yeah, because you have your jacket on still and you're not getting rammed up the ass by some imprudent tree limb."

You bite back a grin. "I always knew you liked it up the ass."

Changbin growls, leaning around to tickle your sides, and you screech, laughing, as you try to wriggle away from him.

Your little playful scuffle only succeeds in making the two of you more muddy and wet than before.

Both of you catching your breath, you glance up as another streak of lightning lights up the limbs of the trees over your head.

You scoot back into the safe embrace of Changbin's arms, and he wraps them around you, pressing a kiss to the wet crown of your head, before he rests his cheek against it.

You close your eyes and listen to the howling of the storm.

"Best, most relaxing weekend ever." You remark quietly, not opening your eyes, fingers tangling with his.

He presses another kiss to your head.

"Just me and you."

[vorestarr]

my hottest bg3 take is that killing the entire goblin camp is also an evil choice so if you kill all the tieflings, kill all the druids, or kill all the goblins, some characters should react as if you did a fucked up thing.

#like i get the cult of the absolute is trying to take over the world with mind flayer parasites etc #but there's also kids in the goblin camp and it's also clear that lots of cultists are literally mind controlled #like to be clear i always play evil characters anyway so i am fine with killing them #but it feels like something the game should not just hand wave away given yk #the themes of the game

♦️ and ☯️ for Kensi, Deeks, or Densi for the head canons list. 🙂

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon

A few months after Rosa came to live with Kensi and Deeks, she came home from a shopping trip with a 1000 piece puzzle of Times Square at night. When she mentioned it was somewhere she always wanted to go, they not only added it to their travel bucket list, but they immediately set up a folding table by the couch and began completing the puzzle together. At least a few nights a week, they rotate picking a movie or a show to watch, and work on the puzzle as they enjoy each other's favorite entertainment. Deeks chooses "classic" movies like The Wild One and Goonies (well at least what he considered classics), and Kensi chooses her favorites like Titanic, and the John Hughes library of films. Rosa usually suggests newer movies and shows - her most recent favorite show was Shrinking - and everyone's favorite lists get expanded.

After Times Square was completed, other beautiful landscape puzzles stacked up - Yellowstone, San Francisco, London, even the Santa Monica Pier. There were other variety of puzzles thrown in, like movie scenes, or abstract art. But mostly, beautiful sights around the world. The only unspoken rule - puzzles of places MUST be photographs. They wished to bask in the real look, not an artist's rendering (no offense to artists).

For Rosa's 18th birthday, Deeks and Kensi presented her a box containing their biggest challenge yet, a 4000 piece puzzle of a new Time Square nightscape. Inside the box, tickets for the three to spend a week in New York over Christmas break.

☯ - likes/dislikes headcanon

Deeks doesn't hate camping as much as he lets on. He doesn't even need to "glamp" to consider the idea. He'd prefer not to be completely unprotected out in the middle of the desert, that is too reminiscent of difficult work cases. But give him a designated campground, a decent tent with an air mattress inside, and at least an outhouse available for use, and he's more than happy to spend a few days in the woods enjoying nature and roasting marshmallows over the fire.

A few months after they got engaged, Kensi and Deeks took a roadtrip over a long weekend to see the Grand Canyon in the fall. Deeks surprised Kensi by pulling into a KOA about an hour from the South Rim. He fell even more in love with her seeing the joy on her face as he pulled the tent and supplies from where he hid them in his truck bed. Together they assembled the tent, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, and then snuggled in on the bouncy airbed in their tent.

The next few days were spent hiking the beautiful canyon, horseback riding around the camp, exploring the nearby towns of Flagstaff and Williams, and spending the evenings in the hot tub (yeah, he chose a place that had some amenities!). Sure, they had to make an emergency run to Walmart to pick up a few more supplies (Deeks may have underestimated Kensi's love of s'mores), but despite Deeks's initial reservations, this was an experience he'd be willing to repeat again and again - and they did!

#my headcanons #my writing #first thing I've written in awhile #but it was fun #Densi #densi headcanons #did I project a bit of myself into these? #yes #Also that KOA is totally a real place #We camped there every year for like 7 years when I was a kid #we did all those things - they have a pool in addition to the hot tub and a pool table and 'arcade' #like 3 games #they also have indoor bathrooms and showers - but outhouses too for the sites on the outskirts of the campsite #but despite those - we always stayed in tents at least #also - the unwritten puzzle rule is absolutely my own #and I own that 4000 piece puzzle - but never got really far on it - I need some more hands - and a bigger table
