Camping Pranks

Many people who enjoy camping, also enjoy playing camping pranks on the people they are with. These camping pranks may not work well for a small family on their vacation, but these camping pranks will work wonders for any counselors with children at camp for a week or two over the summer. These camping pranks are just simple practical jokes.

One of the best camping pranks for campgrounds located relatively far from a city is the Old Man prank. This prank involves using an old man mask and some tattered clothes. Get the children together before bed and tell them a story about an old man who died. You can control all of the elements of the story and match the way you dress to what you told the kids. After the kids have gone to bed, lurk around the campground waiting for them to come out to go to the bathroom. Let them see you and then run and hide. There are many different variations of camping pranks like this meant to scare the children.

If you are looking for camping pranks that will not scare the children to death, there are many other camping pranks out there, such as making brownies with laxative in them, and hiding all the toilet paper, then wrapping the toilet seats with plastic wrap. When it comes to devising your own camping pranks, think of options that will not get anyone hurt or in trouble. Camping pranks are a fun and necessary part of every camp experience. If you become the victim of any prank, take it lightheartedly, and come up with something better to get them back. Try not to be among the first to fall asleep, or expect makeup or marker on your face when you wake up the next morning.
