Raise your hand if you love camping and the outdoors! My sons are a part of an amazing, 105 year-old scouting organization called Camp Fire, and I am their club leader. This is very special for all of us, as my boys are third generation Camp Fire kids, and I am a third generation Camp Fire leader. Since our family does a lot of camping, and since our clubs are always celebrating the outdoors, we have come up with some really cool camping themed party ideas. These are awesome whether you are camping or not – great for a camping themed birthday party, or any camp out themed party. Last week I shared a recipe for S’mores on a Stick. Today I’m sharing several super easy camping themed party food ideas, camping party favor ideas, and free printables! You’ll want to pin this post for planning a camping party for your little adventurers!
In our Camp Fire ceremonial attire (mine is from about 20 years ago)
Our clubs just celebrated our year’s accomplishments at our annual award ceremony. I was tasked with coming up with some camping themed party food ideas for the occasion. Here they are!
Camping-themed party food
Camp Fire Logs: This could not be any easier! Frozen taquitos work perfectly as a camping party food idea when cooked. Serve stacked like logs with some salsa on the side.
Pigs in a Sleeping Bag: What kid doesn’t love pigs in a blanket? Make mini pigs in a blanket (lil’ smokies sausage wrapped in strips of refridgerated crescent roll dough and baked), and call them Pigs in a Sleeping Bag! Serve with ketchup. This is sure to please any kid at a camping themed birthday party!
S’mores on a Stick: It simply wouldn’t be a camping themed party if s’mores weren’t one of your camping themed party food dishes! This is the perfect mess-free (and camp fire free) dessert for a camping birthday party. Get the complete recipe and instructions for S’mores on a Stick in this post here.

What makes campfire meals fun to prepare, is the simplicity of preparing such meals. I like the camp fire food ideas you have presented in this post. They are not only eye-catching, but I bet they are delicious and easy to make. See more camping food ideas here: http://wildernessmastery.com/camping-and-hiking/best-camping-food-ideas.html
