Camping Out Ideas

What are some fun activities to do in a tent on a camping trip?

What are some fun activities to do in a tent with about three other friends on a camping trip? We were thinking maybe a poker party with some other people. Any other ideas or suggestions?

1. You can't miss with a deck of cards because of the variety of games for different age levels. That's what my kids and I did while in the tent. I once had a card game at home and the kids talked me onto setting up the tent in the living room.
2. trivia games
3. *Go on a hike *Play capture the flag after dark *Go on a night hike (with one flashlight or none) ~~~~~~in a tent~~~~~~ *dominos *cards *ghost stories ~~~~~~with food(and fire)~~~~ *S'mores *Put a fire cracker in a marshmallow on a stick (when roasting marshmallows) and give to unsuspecting person. Say "I'll give you a dollar to make the marshmallow black" and sit back and watch. *Jiffy popcorn ~~~~~~~~~~` This is all from experiance, and I have other stories, if you want them, email me.
4. Ummm I can think of one... but Y! will delete it... and you should think of it on your own. Rhymes with buck. Can also involve suck.
5. I always like poker. It's fun and everyone can play. I like to have some type of candy or food to use instead of chips to bet with. Lifesavers always work.
6. You could play Dungeons & Dragons if someone on the trip is into that, brings their books and dice, and is willing to run you through a 1st level adventure. Failing that you could pick up a book of short stories by H.P. Lovecraft and take turns reading aloud. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome http://www.amazon.com/Best-H-P-Lovecraft-Bloodcurdling/dp/0345350804/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-0601339-3354515?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176360483&sr=8-2
