Six legged treasure hunts are a great favourite of summer camps.
These involve three children being tied together at their feet, meaning they all need to work together to move to where the treasure is.
Sometimes the treasure is an answer rather than a physical item, and summer camps will create a list of hints and questions to be answered at different locations, forcing children to work together.
This is great for getting children to work as a team, as it's quite easy to avoid interacting with others if you don't have to.
Obviously all summer camps will organise group sports for children to participate in, as these force children together to work as a team against another team.
Sports are always great fun as well, and even if a child claims they don't enjoy the sport they'll no doubt have fun with the other children once they get into it a bit.
Obstacle courses are another great activity at summer camps.
Sometimes a summer camp has one of these already installed, meaning they don't need to set anything up, but most will use the equipment available to them to create an obstacle course.
These really tire children out, and can be reorganised to no end to create new ways for children to play in them.
These are great for right at the end of a day, when children need to be tired, ready for when their parents will pick them up.
Summer camps are mostly about keeping children active, but they will always hold activities that benefit their learning as well.
Orienteering is a great activity that teaches children all about different signs used by the army while out in the wild.
These signs are essential for anyone that wants to go on to work in the army or in an outdoors position, and with practice children will be able to use them without any trouble.
Not everything at a summer camp needs to benefit a child's health or learning, sometimes the activities can just be fun.
Learning circus skills is great fun for kids, as they get to play around on some equipment they would never have any other reason to play on.
A lot of this play benefits their imaginations, which is essential for a child because they use their imaginations more than anyone else.
Finally, there are sometimes summer camps that offer children the chance to get wet, and play in a river or swimming pool.
These are great for children that know how to swim and those that don't, as the camp will encourage children to learn and help them have a great time whilst doing it.
