Camping Themed Party Ideas
Because a camping-themed birthday party lends itself to so many great outdoor-inspired themes, we’ve compiled a list of dozens of fantastic camping party ideas for you to explore.
There are a lot of ingenious camping ideas! The inventive lantern cake, create-your-own trail mix bar, and delectable s’more party treats are among our favorites.
Camping Themed Party Decorations
Spending a small sum on camping birthday party decorations is not necessary. Begin by going through your own camping items. A checkered tablecloth, pie tins, bandanas, and a light were already on hand for this camping party.
Pinecone decorations
When it comes to planning decorations for your camping party, you’ll find that nature is your best friend! To make a pinecone garland decoration, gather a handful of pinecones and foliage sprigs and bind them together with twine or jute.
Dessert table
Candy-coated lanterns Bamboo poles, vending capsules, and edible bait and equipment are used to make miniature fishing poles. Chocolate candy logs, rock candy embers, and a sugar cookie flame come together to make a campfire cake. What are the similarities and differences between all of these? They’d create a fantastic dessert table for a camping birthday bash!
Build a campfire
Without a campfire, what is a camping party? What a shame! Make a comfortable campfire out of felt and enjoy it whenever you want, rain or shine! This felt campfire set was made with felt and polyester fiberfill as the primary ingredients. The project will require hand and machine sewing to finish.
Woodland campfire
The adorable creatures included into this woodland campfire birthday celebration will delight the kids. The details of this campfire birthday are stunning, from charming forest themed cakes to cute woodland animal party hats, cupcakes, and plush toys! Animal skin blankets and lovely teepees were available for travelers to camp under the stars.
Camping Themed Party Cakes
There’s no need to spend a fortune on the cake for your camping birthday bash. For a fraction of the cost, you can make your own. Using chocolate icing, decorate your campfire cake. To serve as logs, use rolled chocolate wafer sticks. To simulate the flames, finish with shards of red and yellow sugar glass. On a rustic round wooden block, serve this stunning dish.
You best be ready to dash for the dessert table when s’mores and cupcakes collide! S’mores are a must-have at any camping trip, just as cupcakes and cake are at any birthday celebration.
At a camping party, serving s’mores cupcakes is a brilliant idea! A graham cracker square and a chocolate bar top these chocolate cupcakes with toasted marshmallow frosting! There’s no need for roasting sticks!
Camping Themed Party Games & Activities
A camping party is ripe for some additional fun party games. Guests at your camping party will like this outdoor adventure hunt, and you’ll appreciate how simple it is to put together with a printable scavenger hunt list that you can print straight on a brown paper sack, which they can also use to keep all of their hunt goods.
A pinecone, an acorn, a flat rock, a bit of rubbish, and other items are examples of items that guests must discover.
Dawn by the banks
This game can be played indoors or around the campfire; just make sure no one falls in while jumping out of the way of the hand slap! This is another one of those camping games that you’ve undoubtedly played whether you’re camping or not, but it’s a good time for all ages, so it made the list!
Everyone sits in a circle, close enough for someone to lay their hand on top of yours if you put your hand out to the side. And that’s exactly what you do: each participant crosses their right hand over the left hand of the person on their right to make a connected circle.
Camping pictionary
Do you have to stay inside for a few hours because of the rain? Play a round of pictionary with these camping pictionary words and a piece of paper to see how many camp-themed words you can come up with!
You could even play a round of charades, a round of pictionary, and a round of Catch Phrase with the same phrases, which is one of my favorite adult party games!
