I take a 7th and 8th grade Sunday School class on a camping trip each spring and again in the fall. They like to:
1. Plan and cook the meals (outside and on a fire)
2. Scavenger hunt. You can get some good ideas on pinterest with a search for scavenger hunt.
3. Tell ghost stories. They always have their phones and they look them up and read them. The one that finds the best (funniest, scariest, etc.) wins a prize (candy bar).
4. Make s'mores. Regular and then with Oreos, in a pie iron, google different ones.
5. Hike the trails.
6. Bocce ball. (We have a set that we carry all the time in the 5'er.)
7. Volleyball. One of them always brings a ball.
8. Manhunt after it gets dark and before quiet time because it can get LOUD!!
9. Craft projects - easy and useful ones. (I get on pinterest a week or two before we go and find something to do. In the spring, we usually do something for the Easter season and in the fall, we do something for Halloween, T'giving or Christmas).
10. Card games, especially spoons, Rook, spades and hearts and chicken-foot dominoes.
Hope this helps.
