Fun And Fabulous Camp Scavenger Hunt
The Perfect Choice For Your Camp-Lovin' Kids!
A Camp Scavenger Hunt will help to make your camp out, hike, or party a little more interesting and enjoyable. The hunt can be elaborate or easy. This type of hunt can help to improve your child's observation skills, along with increasing their interest in the great outdoors. Consider the ages of your participants when designing your hunt. You don't want to frustrate younger kids with hard to find items, yet you want to be sure to provide older kids with enough of a challenge to hold their interest and bring out their competitive spirit.
If you are camping where there are others campers, then you can select items that the kids can try to obtain from camping neighbors.
Be sure to establish ground rules. For example, the boundaries that the participants may search within; stay with your team; leave the campgrounds or nature as it is found, and don't destroy the natural surroundings.
Equip your teams with a bag to carry their items in, Ziploc bags to protect the more fragile items from other things collected, jars to transport their bugs in, disposable plastic gloves, Wet Ones, digital camera, and if you want to incorporate a little nature clean-up, provide each team with a garbage bag. Listed below are some suggested items to scavenge for to help get you started.
