Camping Out Ideas
What are some fun winter camping activities?
The Camp site is in the Mid-West and we will be using cabins. In addition to sled riding and snowman building, what other activities would you suggest to entertain a Cub Scout Pack?

- as a boy scout we enjoy snowball fights which include leader, capture the flag, tubing, and fire building.
- Contest to see who can pee their name in the snow the best. Seriously, though, the capture the flag with snow-built forts is always a hit if you can find enough snow. Really, anything where you can divide up into smaller teams and have a simple contest, like who can make the biggest snowball, who can make the best igloo, etc. Otherwise, a traditional sport like football can be great in the cold weather.
- Depending on temps. avoid activities where they will sweat. Makes for a chilly night. Try survival skills. Building lean-tos, quincys, fire building. Warming rocks to stay warm in your sleeping bags. navigation etc.
