Backyard Camping Birthday Bash

A hand-painted sign greets guests to "Camp Luke;" it's the perfect camp-themed welcome (and it's way more original than balloons).

Entertain your campers with classic campfire birthday songs.

Decorate the pillows in your tent with easy iron-on scout badges.

Send your campers off to adventure with these great explorer packs.

Let campers explore wild grounds with these cute binoculars. They'll discover a lot in their own backyards.

Customize each campers' favor by stamping their names onto classic camp lunch bags.

Direct your campers over to their tent with these bright and bold handmade fabric signs.

Keep things bright in the dark woods with these mini flashlights. They ensure that your explorers uncover every nook and cranny.

Hand out personalized t-shirts to get your campers in the spirit.

Create a fun guest book by painting an outdoor table with chalkboard paint.

Gather around for a less traditional campfire. The stage is set for an outdoor screening of The Berenstain Bears: Fun Family Adventures!

Gather around a makeshift campfire constructed from a pile of hula hoops.

Keep the campers busy by pretending to roast marshmallows or fight the fire with fun!

Campers will run wild for a game of "capture the color" where they race to grab the most colored balls as fast as they can.

To keep safe from the lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) let the kids run and hide under a parachute as other campers let it rise and fall.

Sit back at the campfire, and enjoy some delicious cookies from Eleni's in New York City.

Light up the night with star cupcakes that will surely capture the attention of your little adventurers.

Captivate your audience with tasty s'more treats as they kick back at sunset.
