Before heading out on your next camping trip, be sure to print this camping scavenger hunt.
There is so much to see around the campsite! Print out this one-page scavenger hunt for kids, and see if your kids can find all of the items on the list.
To prepare for the scavenger hunt, print out one page for each child who will participate. Then, gather pens or crayons for each one.
If you’d like to make these reusable, you can laminate them and use dry erase markers. This way, you can use them over and over again.
Camping Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt can be done individually or in groups. Siblings can pair up and compete as teams, if you’d like. Or, they can race against each other.
This scavenger hunt is great for older children, because the scavenger hunt clues are shared in word form.
However, if you choose to use this as a family, older children can read the clues and everyone (even pre-readers) can join in the search.
