Top Outdoor Games:
Cornhole
A classic game that’s perfect for all ages. Set up two boards and see who can score the most points by tossing bean bags into the hole. It's easy to learn and always a hit.
Frisbee Golf
Combine the fun of frisbee with the challenge of golf. Set up a course with targets (trees, poles, etc.) and take turns aiming your frisbee at them. The player with the fewest throws wins!
Capture the Flag
This team-based game is great for larger groups. Each team hides their flag and tries to capture the opposing team’s flag without being tagged. It’s a thrilling mix of strategy and speed.
Ladder Toss
Also known as Ladder Golf, this game involves tossing bolas (two balls connected by a string) onto a ladder-shaped target. Each rung of the ladder scores different points. It's a fun challenge for all skill levels.
Bocce Ball
A classic European game that’s perfect for grassy areas. Players take turns tossing bocce balls, aiming to get as close as possible to the smaller target ball, or pallino. It’s a game of precision and patience.
Water Balloon Toss
Great for hot summer days, this game involves partners tossing water balloons back and forth, taking a step back after each successful catch. The team that keeps their balloon intact the longest wins. Prepare to get soaked!
Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of items found in nature or around the campsite and see who can find them all first. This game is especially fun for kids and encourages exploration and observation.
Tug of War
A test of strength and teamwork, this game is a timeless favorite. Find a sturdy rope and mark the center. Teams pull from each side, trying to drag the opposing team across the line.
