Camping Birthday Party

Bailey mentioned that she would like to have a camping party to celebrate her 10th birthday.  Of course, what she meant by "a camping party" was inviting a couple of friends to go into the woods to fish, roast hot dogs and actually sleep in a tent...  and what I meant by "a camping party" was custom wrapped Hersey bars and hand crafted tent centerpieces.  So, we put our heads together to create CAMP BAILEY!

Each camper received a backpack, compass and flashlight to begin their camping adventure 

The food table: s'mores, trail mix, granola bark, chocolate covered donuts, cookies, hot dogs, chips, cake pops and s'mores cupcakes.  A perfect camping meal. 

Hungry campers 

I made custom Hersey wrappers.  One lucky camper got the candy bar with the Camp Bailey logo on the inside and won $5! 

Picnic style dinner 

"Gone Fishin'" Game where campers used real poles to catch plastic fish (magnets on bobbers).  And "Duck Hunt" where campers picked a duck out of the 'pond'.  The number on the bottom of the duck had a number which represented a prize bucket.  All the ducks were wearing camping gear.  Too cute! 

No camping party is complete without shooting games!

Campers tried to shoot the cups off the shelves.  Each camper won a prize every time they played a game.  We gave away over 350 prizes at Camp Bailey. :)  The campers kept their prizes in their backpacks. 

Injured Camper Relay Race.  Two teams of campers, each with an injured camper.  One by one, campers run to the injured camper to help them with ace bandages, ice packs or band-aids for mosquito bites (red stickers) and then ran back to tag the next person in line.  The last camper helps the injured camper hop on one foot back to the campsite.  The first team back to Camp Bailey wins!

The party ended with s'mores by the campfire
