Stargazing and relaxing is the best way to end off a day of outdoor fun and exploration. It is an accessible activity that campers of all ages can enjoy. This provides an educational opportunity for children as well. See which star patterns and constellations can be seen at night and explain to your campers how the stars move in the sky with seasons.
- Scavenger Hunt
A good old-fashioned hunt is a camp classic. It always proves to be a fun experience for campers. It creates a healthy competition that helps campers to build and enhance their problem-solving skills. After a day full of fun activities, you can end the scavenger hunt at a big bonfire for everyone to get together and hang out with new friends.

Scrapbooking and journaling is a wonderful opportunity to get introspective and come up with beautiful collages for summer camp memories.

It allows them a quiet and peaceful time to reflect on the time spent at camp. On the other hand, scrapbooking is a precious way to capture memories. Use an instant camera to take camper’s photos and give them printouts. They use these printouts to make their scrapbook more personalized.
