Camping Party Ideas?

digger

My son is turning 4 this summer and we want to camp out and have a cowboy theme.

I do not have a lot of money to spend (next to nothing). What are some ideas for food and acitivites? Would it be easy for us to fish, having had never fished before?

Answer
Is this a party with other 4 year olds - or just you and your son?

I having a camp fire - see if you can find jiffy pop pop corn.

Hot dogs - smores.

Fishing is not easy to learn on your own. Unless others are there I'd look for something else.

Practice roping - create fake cow out of cardboard (refrigerator box).

Toy guns? Water pistols - shoot out lit candles.

camp rock premiere party planning, any ideas?

Im having a camp rock premiere party and i need ideas for games and decorations and cool stuuf. submit any ideas you have! Thanx

Answer
Okay, so this is totally what I'm doing for my Camp Rock Party! Sorry it's so long but I am just so so so excited!!!



What to theme your party around and how to decorate!

I am themeing my party around camping. Like we are actually going to pretend we are at Camp Rock.

Then I chose a color theme of blue and purple because they are cute and it matches a lot of pictures from Camp Rock and it matches my shirt. (I explain my shirt later)

Then I got purple and blue plastic table clothes, streamers, TONS of balloons, cups, plates, and utensils.

I wanted camp rock plates and stuff, but you can't order them online yet and you can buy them at Party City, but their isn't one in my entire state! So instead I am getting purple and blue ones and then I am going to print pictures from the movie off on my computer and then take watered down Elmer's Glue and decoupage them to the edges of the plates and sides of the cups. I actually just read you can get them at Target so I am totally checking there tomorrow!

Then I am just going to cover everything in balloons and streamers! I might even cover the walls in the plastic purple table clothes you can get at the dollar store and the put blue balloons and streamers everywhere so my friends hardly recognize they are in my basement! I also found some really cool squigely balloons at the dollar store and some tinsel and stuff. Plus I am going to print out more camp rock pictures and tape them onto fishing line and hang them on the ceiling so they are kind of floating, and I am going to hang purple and blue musical notes and stars too! It will hopefully look really cool!

What to wear!

I bought a Camp Rock shirt from Target! I actually got it in the little girls section and it is supposed to be a night gown but it just looks like a long shirt on me and it actually reminds me of something Demi Lovato would wear. Then I am hoping to find maching jewelry so I look super cute. I am going to talk to my friends and see if they want to buy matching shirts also!

Or you can print off the iron on things from http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/originalmovies/camprock/index.html onto a plain white T-shirt and then write you and your friends names in Sharpie on the back. You could even each put a name from the movie on your back like Mitchie, or you could use the actors actual names like Demi.

What to eat!

Since we are theming our party around camping we are going to eat foods you eat while camping like maybe hotdogs and chips for dinner, but I haven't decided for sure. Then of course we are going to have s'mores, and other candy and snacks like trail mix!

And the most amazing thing will be a cake I am going to make! I love decorating cakes! Is going to have three layers and little edible Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato on top! It will be purple and blue also, and taste super yummy! You could definitely just buy a cake that is purple and blue and some stores will put edible pictures on them so you could put a camp rock picture on it or just have them write, "Rocking at CAMP ROCK" or something like that. They might even have Camp Rock cakes made up because I know they did for High School Musical 2!

What to do!

Well one of the things we are going to do is film a music video! We are obviously going to use one of the songs from the soundtrack, probably "We Rock," but I'm not sure yet. We are going to choreograph it and mouth along. We might even cut guitars out of cardboard and decorate them with glitter and paint. Then my Dad is going to edit it and add cool special effects. While he does that...

We are going to watch a DVD that I put together of all my favorite Jonas Brother You Tube videos! It is definitely going to make us laugh really really hard!

Then we are going to watch our music video.

Also when my friends come in I am going to have "Start the Party" playing, because what song fits more! It's from Camp Rock and we are going to START THE PARTY!

Then we are going to play this game I made up. It is similar to "What If..." if you have ever played that. You get lots of little pieces of paper and pass out like 20 to each person. (my paper is definitely going to be blue and purple) Then each person writes one question they would ask the Jonas Brothers if they ever met them. Then everyone folds their paper up and puts it into the middle. Next everyone draws somebody elses question and writes what they think the Jonas Brothers answer would be on the back. Then once again you put your papers in the middle and draw a new one. Then one person reads the question on their paper, and the person to their left reads their answer to a different question. So the question might be "Who was your first crush?" and the answer might be, "Nick." It always turns out being really funny! (If that didn't make sense you can email me and I will explain it better)

We are also going to be having a sleep over and because it is themed around camping I'm going to set up a tent in my garage. This way we feel like we are really camping and because I'm in my garage I can stay up late and be loud and my parents won't wake up!

If I need something else to help pass the time then I am going to pull out all of my Jonas Brother magazines and we will read them and look at the pictures. Or we might just talk about what we think will bein Camp Rock like "Will Joe and Demi (actually Shane and Mitchie) kiss?!" We might also give eachother "makeovers" before our music video so we totally look like rock stars!

I am also going to make little gift bags for my friends and in them I am going to put a copy of the DVD with our music video on it so they remember the party forever, and the DVD I put together of the Jonas Brothers YouTube videos, pictures of us at my party that I will print off of my computer and definitely candy! And I also just heard you can buy camp rock plastic baggies at Target too, so I will check that tomorrow also!



I really hope this helped you! I have been planning this for months and I totally can not wait! I know this sounds like a party for 10 year olds, but I'm 17 and I know my friends and I are going to have a blast! We are just totally crazy and obsessed with the Jonas Brothers! But the best part of the night will definitely be SEEING CAMP ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have any good ideas for camping activities?

camping and fishing party ideas image

CampIng201

I am going camping this summer with my friends... And I don't know what we should do!!! We are staying in a cabin for a few days on the beach. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer
Yes..

1. Stargazing. Check out all the stars and constellations. Since you are away from the city lights, the view can be amazing.



2. Plant and Wildlife Identification. Go looking for leaves, berries, tracks, scat, dens, burrows, etc. Learn what things live in your camping area and be able to identify them.



3. Hiking. Go for a walk and see nature in action. Let the kid inside you come out as you explore areas you have never been. The kids will love the adventure of it and it is great exercise.



4. Start fires without matches. Use flint and steel or use a hand or bow drill. You can make a game of this to test your survival skills against others.



5. Go fishing or hunting. These are camping basics and quite a lot of fun.



6. Practice Knife and Hatchet Throwing. All you need is a target and you are ready for action. I will tell you from experience that hatchet throwing is much easier.



7. Tell Ghost Stories and Adventure Stories around the campfire. Some of my best memories as a kid were hearing these types of stories from my father and other adults. Give your kids this same experience by learning a few good stories.



8. Orienteering with map and compass or GPS. Set a course to find a location on the map. With the invention of the GPS, this normally mundane activity is now exciting.



9. Geocaching. This popular treasure hunting game uses a GPS device to find hidden treasures in the field. You can adapt your campsite for this very same function by hiding some objects in the area and allow for family and friends to go hunt for them.



10. Birdwatching. Being away from the city, you have the opportunity to see a number of different types of birds that you would otherwise not be able to appreciate or follow. Here, is a chance to see them in their natural habitat.



11. Watch Animals. Make a blind and stay down wind from the animals. If it is early morning or late in the day, you are likely to see a number of animals come down for a drink.



12. Build a Lean-To or some other man-made shelter. This is a great idea if you are camping with a number of people. A lot of team work will go into building this structure and there is always a lot of satisfaction out of building something with your bare hands. Why not let your camping group share in this experience.



13. Learn different types of knots and try them out. You can do this for fun to show off to friends or you can make it practical by using the knots to help with your camping. For example, create a rope that will hold up your water bucket from a tree.



14. Build a water still. This is another survival technique which gives you a chance to see if you could really survive using this method. Give it try as it is something you can set-up, go do other things and then, check back later to see how you did.



15. Create snares and traps. This works much like a water still would in that you set it up and check on it later. Just be sure to let all the people in your party know where they are and be sure to take them down when you will be leaving.



16. Glow sticks for the kids. Bring along glow sticks for the little kids to play with at night. Kids love these things and will make their own games with them.



17. Woodcarving. This grandfather favorite can also be a hit with kids. It allows them to be creative in what they might design and teaches them patience. Plus, the only tools that are needed are wood and a pocket knife.
