Summer Camp Ideas
These summer camp ideas are great to share amongst your staff. Having directed many camps in the past, I know that down time for campers is just asking for trouble. Many of the summer camp games listed below are ones that I've facilitated with campers or taught my counselors so that they could add them to their bag of tricks. There are even some that work well during staff training week.
If you are looking to create your own scavenger hunt riddles for your campers and staff throughout the summer, check out Clue Monster for a wonderful program that helps you come up with your own unique scavenger hunt riddle ideas.
