Summer Camping Party

Have you ever gone on a Summer Campout? My family looks forward to camping, every Summer. We start planning our campout, months in advance. We get the family involved with choosing our campout location, and all the fun stuff that we want to include, such as fishing, and hiking! 

fI popped our favorite microwave popcorn before we left the house, then filled these cute polka dotted treat bags, once we got to the lake. I set the easy to grab snack bags inside of a wired basket, to give it a more outdoors-y feel.

Another yummy treat to enjoy while out camping? Cookies! These weren’t just any ordinary cookie. These were hand created, and specially painted by our favorite cookier, She Wears The Crown. I love how they included a sleeping bag, a tent, and roasted marshmallows, for our happy campers! I surprised the campers by displaying them on top of real wooden log pieces. 

My family loves to munch on trail mix, all year long. For a little added fun to our normal snack of choice, I had the campers create their own trail mix! I included peanuts, raisins, and M&M’s. I displayed the trail mix ingredients inside small pails, and placed them inside of a wooden box. I set out a scoop, and mini snack cups for the guests to fill to their liking! I found a fun camping themed printable set from Printabelle, and added them to our trail mix bar.

I also made sure our campers had a chance to experience S’mores – a Summer Campout staple! While the guests were playing near the lake, I set out bottles of juice, little cups of “fish” crackers, and put together mini S’mores kits. The graham crackers, Jet-Puffed marshmallows, and mini Hershey’s bars were displayed inside of berry baskets.

I made sure I had a supply of ready-made S’mores on sticks, for our hungry & adventurous campers. I also included a sign for our S’mores station.

Our Summer Campout party ended with the happy campers “roasting” their marshmallows. I decided it would be best to save the real campfire for our family trip. Either way, our little camper guests had a great time pretending to roast their mallows over an open flame.

I’d love to hear about your Summer Campout stories! What are some of the fun activities you include?
