5. Water Balloon Toss
For this youth camp game, fill up plenty of water balloons and split the kids up into pairs facing each other. Let them begin close in proximity and have them play catch with the water balloon.
The object of the game is to keep the water balloon from breaking. After each person catches the balloon, have each person take one big step backward. When only one kid is left from each pair, pair those kids up together and let them play catch.
Repeat this until you have one player left, who’s the winner.
6. Scavenger Hunt
Create teams and send them off on a scavenger hunt. This activity works great because the kids are in smaller groups and get acquainted nicely while looking for items.

7. SPUD
You’ll need one ball for this youth camp game. The person with the ball throws it up very high in the air and calls out someone’s name. That person must catch the ball.
As soon as the ball is in the air, everyone except that person needs to run away from the ball. When the designated person catches the ball, he or she yells, “SPUD!” very loudly.
Everyone must stop immediately. The person with the ball gets to take three large steps toward someone and throw the ball in an attempt to hit him or her. If it does, that person is out.
Repeat until one person is left. If you have a lot of kids, split them up and have multiple games going on at one time.
Youth camp games are exciting for kids at Christian summer camp. Choose one or more to get your kids acquainted in no time!
