Camping themed party ideas? 10 points for best ideas!?

Me and a couple friends got a branch off a tree and sharpened all of it's limbs and put a bunch of hotdogs on it. got one person on each end and spun it next to the fire for a few minutes. Don't actually put it in the flame. that was impressive and got some people excited. so yes, you can mass cook hot dogs on a bonfire!

Don't count on cooking much major food on a bonfire. You really can't cook in big flames like that -- you need a low coal fire and that takes a while to burn down and requires a lot of hassle. You could wrap corn on the cob and potatoes in foil and bury them in the coals and ashes under the fire but that takes a long time and stuff tends to burn unless someone is paying close attention. Get marshmallows, hershey bars and graham crackers to make SomeMores (be sure to get sticks or grill forks to stick the mallows on). Make some GORP (trail mix) with peanuts, M & M's and raisins for munching. You could get a couple of Hibachi grills and make shish-ka-bobs (shrimp, pineapple, cherry tomatoes, onions and green pepper chunks on skewers.) Freeze-dried ice cream (you can get it at a camping supply store) is usually a hit.

I doubt you will need many games for the evening. If everyone has been surfing and swimming all day they will be pretty tired around the campfire and relaxing with girl talk.

Can you rent kayaks too? They are fun for people who can't surf.

And for favors and decor, Oriental Trading company has great cheap stuff, like a dozen rubber duckies dressed in camping outfits for $5.99. You should get a bunch of lightsticks and the glow bracelets too -- always fun for night parties. They have cheap fanny packs, too. Why not get one for each guest and fill it with "camping" items like a cotton bandana, a "camper" ducky, a clip-on compass, some lightsticks, flavored chapstick, granola bars and a small flashlight?

• Clueless- there is about 6 boxes filled with different types of food. For example in one box there might be rice pudding and in the other there might be squashed tomatoes. Then they have to guess what they are, and the more they get correct the more sweets they get. • Dip face- this is a game where you have to put your face into a bowl of rice pudding to get a coin out and then you have to dip your face into another bowl that is filled with honey puffs. You then need to collect golf balls from that one. You then repeat this 4 times. The fastest one to finish wins. • Stuck bugs- in this game there is a bowl of jelly, the aim of the game is to get out 3 bugs without using your hands. All you can use is your mouth. The fist one again wins. • Trail of doom- this is a mud trail. The aim of the game is to have mud thrown over you whilst you are trying to do the trail. However, this will be done blindfolded and in silence. At any point does the person talk or even screech they will get a point. YOU WANT TO HAVE THE LEAST POINTS!!! The person with the least points wins. • Bread it up- this game enquires you to eat 2 slices of plain bread in under a minuet. If none completes this both go back to camp empty handed. However if both win they need to eat 1 slice of bread in under 30 seconds. • Jam it up- you have to eat 2 jammy, sugary, dontuts with out licking your lips or having a drink.

Wow! This sounds fun!
Erm, roast marshmallows, get a kayak or something...windsurfing??? You can cook hot dogs too, I guess. Play capture the flag and beach volleyball.

I think I have an idea of what to do on my next birthday now...

Tell everyone to prepare a campfire song. xP Or silly dance to go with it.

Do tubing waterpolo (every1 sit on a tube while throwing the ball around, trying to score).

Bring marsh-marrows and one of those knives for chipping wood. Or bring a metal pan/pot, to make hot water and then turn chocolate powder to hot chocolate (if at night and it's cold).
