Scavenger hunts are so much fun, we loved them when the kids were really little, but even now our son is in middle school he and his friends have so much with them.

Now to be fair it is now a competition to see who wins first for bragging rights, but it’s totally worth it.

If you want to keep the hunt for next time a good idea would be to laminate the free printable scavenger hunt before you go. If you do just remember to take some dry erase markers so you can play over and over again.

Before you go camping why not print out a few extra so the kid’s new friends can join in too?

How to play

Get the older kids to work in teams with the younger kids and have fun in nature.

As there are pictures and words young children who are early readers can try and read the word as well.

Kids of all ages will have such a great time with this.

There are 2 ways they can play:

Work in small groups and mark off the camping items when they are spotted.

Older children can turn this into a photo scavenger hunt. When they spot an item they need to snap a photo of it, as proof!

You could have a little friendly competition, with whichever team gets back to camp first, or whoever takes the best photos.
