One of the best ways to make memories on a camping trip is with the joy from playing games and sharing laughs with friends & family. 

 

We’ve narrowed down what we believe to be the 6 best camping games to play while vacationing and enjoying the great outdoors! 

 

PLEASE NOTE: the games listed below are not necessarily found at Pathfinder Camp Resorts. While we do have several different games at our resorts, the selection may vary by location. We welcome and encourage you to bring your own camping games to our resorts!

#3 FRISBEE

FRISBEE FORT CAMPING PATHFINDER AGASSIZ HARRISON PARKSVILLE CAMP GAMES

 

You can do SO much with a frisbee! While the most popular thing to do with a frisbee is to toss it back and forth, but there is so much more you can  do with a frisbee or two!

Check these great frisbee ideas (via KOA):

  • Tic-tac-toss: Tic-tac-toss is a play on tic-tac-toe that calls for 12 Frisbees. You can create a tic-tac-toe board on a tablecloth or tarp, or lay hula hoops on the ground. Instead of using X and O markers, you have to toss your Frisbee into your chosen square or hoop.
  • Bowling: Set up towers of plastic cups or arrange shatter-proof bottles at the end of a designated play area and try to knock them down using a Frisbee.
  • KanJam: For adults and older kids, KanJam is a great way to introduce some healthy competition into your camping trip. This Frisbee game involves setting two bins several feet apart and splitting into two teams. Each team must try to get their Frisbee into the bin while the other tries to deflect.
  • Free throw: If you are playing with younger kids or want to brush up on your Frisbee skills before engaging in more competitive games, have a Frisbee free throw challenge to see who can make their Frisbees go the farthest.
