Written by Lindsay Browning | Aug 29, 2024 4:30:00 PM

Summer is coming to an end, but your camps don't have to! Fall and winter offer unique opportunities for exciting camp activities. By embracing the seasonal charm, you can create memorable experiences for your campers. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Indoor Crafts: Explore nature-inspired crafts using leaves, pinecones, and acorns. Create festive decorations for the holidays or engage in creative projects like painting, drawing, or building models.

  • Cozy Storytelling: Gather around a fireplace or use a projector to share spooky stories, folktales, or classic children's literature.

  • Winter Sports: If your location allows, introduce campers to winter sports like ice skating, sledding, or building snowmen.

  • Seasonal Cooking: Incorporate seasonal ingredients into your camp meals. Bake pumpkin pies, make apple cider, or roast marshmallows over an indoor campfire.

  • Nature Walks and Scavenger Hunts: Even in colder weather, nature offers plenty to explore. Plan outdoor walks, scavenger hunts, or birdwatching activities.

Remember to adapt your activities to the weather conditions and the age and interests of your campers. By embracing the seasonal spirit, you can create a magical and engaging camp experience.
