indoor camping birthday party ideas image
Rebecca Fo
My daughter is turning thirteen and she doesn't want a "kiddy" party. Her idea was to take a few friends to KOA for the weekend but that's a little too pricy for my liking, and she's allergic to mosquitoes so camping isn't really ideal for her party.
She's already reached that "Mom, get out of my life! But first can you drive me and Cheryl to the mall?" stage in her life, and she's not into crafts and organized games and stuff. She just wants a place that's not childish where her and her friends can go and, as she says, "be stupid" without having parents "breathe down their necks". She doesn't want to stay at home though, because apparently home sleepovers are boring and overrated.
I'm thinking something that's under $100.00 for her plus two or three guests. Any ideas?

Depends on the time of year. Pool party at the community pool or YMCA if it's summer. My mom lives at an apartment complex where there is a pool and you can reserve the clubhouse for the day. If you know someone who lives in a place like this, ask if they can do that and you pay them back. If you can stay at home you can save a lot of money. Leave little activity tables out in the backyard with instructions (put packing tape over them so they don't get ruined) and then go off to your room and they can go to the things when they want (piñata, water balloons, relay races, movie inside, food station, "photo booth" you can manage that by having a camera and some props they can use as you take pictures that way you can supervise a bit, etc.). But that's only if it's summer. Now on to the colder months. Is there a jungle rapids or arcade near by? Go carts or putt-putt. Mall scavenger hunt (for if there are more girls) have a list of things and clues of where to find them, one person in the group HAS to have a cell phone. They can just take a picture or if it's super cheap provide money to buy it. They have to be back at a meeting place (food court usually works best) by a certain time. Indoor camping in your living room, pitch a real tent or they can make a blanket fort. A movie, bowling, fancy (but reasonably priced) dinner/lunch, etc. Just set up food, music, and decorations in your house or backyard and have a fire pit going, she can invite many friends over since it's cheaper. I hope this helps! Good luck!

nataliya05
i want to go someplace with my friends for either a one day trip or a weekend to celebrate my 19th birthday. i was thinking of something along the lines of hiking, or going skydiving, or going to see some interesting places. (i wish we could go to grand canyon but it is too far, i need something near NY) Does anyone know of any places or activities that i can plan to do on my birthday? I need to plan this by september 22nd.
Thanks to all who will reply.

Happy Birthday a little early to you. I like the skydiving thing but, just remember it can get expensive. If that is something you want to do you might want to check out these websites:

I would also be sure you ask them about their safety record and maybe do a little âbackgroundâ check on them. You are trusting them with your life after all! It really is a good time, just pick a safe company.
What about going camping for a weekend?? That is always fun, maybe you all could pick a place that has hiking, canoeing and some other activities. OK so it might not be as adventurous as Skydiving, but it can be cheap and fun! You could also find a park that has cabins for rent if you all donât want to do the tent thing. Here are some state parks that have different accommodations:

There are so many wonderful places to camp, or stay in cabins you will want to check out this site for more info:

I donât know who you all plan on taking but, what about doing a day spa thing and then a nice dinner and stay at a hotel? That could be fun. I am sure that a spa somewhere is running a special.
What about going Bungee Jumping?? Almost like skydiving, well kinda! It could be fun take a weekend and combine camping/cabin ect with a little adventureâ¦. I did bungee and I really liked it. I did not do it in NY so I am sorry I cannot tell you about companies but, check out this site it will help you find a place!

What about going into NYC and site seeing? Donât know if you have done this or not but, it can be fun! Itâs your birthday pick the places you want to see, you want to eat at ect⦠You could also go to Coney Island or the beach those are always good options. What about taking surf lessons??? There are tons of surf shops by the beach that offer lessons. You and your friend could have a great time doing this! Get a place near the beach and have a great weekend!
Go site see at Niagara Falls. Donât know if you have ever been there but, it really is cool. Again you could camp or get a room. There is tons of stuff to see and the falls are just amazing!
Okay now here is a crazy idea, my friends and I for my 20th birthday got together and had a slumber party at one of those indoor kids places, Tumble Drum where I live. You know one of those places that has the indoor play ground. We put together games and we really had a good time. We had pizza and acted like kids for the evening, they had tunnels, slides and more. Yeah they built this place for kids but, this was one of my best birthdays. We had a great time and well for our age it was just crazy!
Speaking of slumber parties you could always have one and do silly games, do something like a driving scavenger hunt those are always fun. Make up a list of things each team has to findâ¦.spread the places out so they have to drive, put a time limit on it and the team to bring back the most wins. Put a time limit on it so your friends come back! Have food delivered; get some good movies you want to see. I know sounds childish but, my friend and I try to do this once a year and we just have a great time!
What about a roadtrip?? Look at a map and find some places you have always wanted to go, map your highways and set out on an adventure, heck don't even find places just pick some highways and go for it! You never know what you will discover and you all will have a great time!
Is there a concert, play or something else you want to see coming in town?? Yeah it might not be on your birthday but, a group of you going to see something you want to see and having some dinner can really be a lot of fun! I guess the best answer for you is be creative, think outside the box, think of things YOU want to do, have always wanted to do and plan it. After all it is your day! I hope this helps you good luck!
