Written by Lindsay Browning | Jul 23, 2024 3:30:00 PM

Summer camp is all about outdoor adventures, but what happens when the weather takes an unexpected turn? A little rain shouldn't dampen the camp spirit! With a bit of creativity, you can transform those indoor days into unforgettable memories.

Here are some ideas to keep campers entertained on rainy days:

  • Indoor Campfire Tales: Gather everyone together for a cozy indoor campfire. Share stories, sing songs, and play indoor games like charades or Pictionary.

  • Creative Workshops: Unleash your campers' artistic side with indoor workshops. From painting and drawing to jewelry making or origami, there are endless possibilities for creative expression.

  • Movie Matinee with a Twist: Turn movie time into a fun event by creating a themed movie day. Decorate the space, prepare themed snacks, and encourage campers to dress up.

  • Indoor Sports and Games: Transform your indoor space into a sports arena. Set up obstacle courses, play indoor basketball or volleyball, or have a dance party to get everyone moving.

  • Culinary Adventures: Let campers explore their culinary skills with indoor cooking or baking activities. From making pizza to baking cookies, there are endless options to satisfy their taste buds.

Remember, the key to a successful indoor day is to maintain a positive and enthusiastic attitude. Involve campers in the planning process, and let their creativity shine. With a little preparation and flexibility, you can turn a rainy day into a memorable camp experience.
