Kids love camping out in the backyard. Roasting marshmallows, exchanging ghost stories, and hiding from the adults - just a few of their favorite activities.

Why not invite a few of your child's close friends and throw them a backyard campout birthday party. A great alternative to a traditional slumber party. Kids these days spend a majority of their free time indoors either watching T.V or playing video games, it's important to give them an opportunity to discover the magic of the outdoors. Plus, a camp-out is sure to get their creativity flowing - you'll hardly have to think of activities to play because the outdoors will let their imaginations run wild.

There's many backyard themed activities, crafts and snacks that fit in well with this party theme. Try some of our favorites below!
