Camp - what is something crazy you can do?

This summer, I was at a camp that took place in college dorms. One boy climbed out of his window and onto the roof, then down into a girl's room. They weren't planning to have sex or anything, they just wanted to see if he could do it.

On a less serious note, a fight with any sort of liquid, pillows, ect. is always fun. Occasionally, it can get a little bit out of control (someone slips and falls on pavement, ect.) but those sorts of things are more on the fun side than crazy.

Could you tell us a bit about what the camp is? Is it a horseback riding camp, a school camp, a religious group, a sports camp, ect?

Something that always happens at camps I've been to is truth or dare, games like that. I guess someone could be dared to do something crazy... Spin the bottle? Is it a boy/girl camp, one gender camp? I agree with the statement above, a bit more info would be helpful!

Thanks, that has already helped tons!

It's just a summer camp, one month long, anyone (female or male) from the ages of 10-18 can go.

I need something that my female character, who is normally very practical and not the crazy type, can do and let loose and maybe get a little out of control and end up making out with one of the guys.

We canoed down the hillside, had a picnic on top of the train caboose (craft storage) and raided the kitchen. But we were staff members...

We wound up staying up until three a.m and playing Truth-or-Dare, Spin the Bottle, Ten Fingers (also called "Never Have I Ever in some areas) and a game called HotSeat, where you put one person in the "Hot Seat" and everyone could ask them questions. You lose if you get too embarrassed to answer, and get out of the "Hot Seat."

When playing this game sleep-deprived, people actually want to get in the Hot Seat and rarely get embarrassed. Some questions can include: Who would you have sex with, out of everyone in this room? If you could make $500 by putting a porn video of yourself online, would you do it? $1000? (Continue until they say yes) Who would you guess has the most sexual experience out of everyone here?

There are a lot of openings in these games for making out, trust me.

We stayed up until ungodly hours playing all of the games in the post above, as well.

Theres also a game called "Honey do you love me" (goes by various names) where one person is it, and has to pick someone and say to them "Honey if you love me, you'll smile." They can do anything they want to make them smile/laugh/flinch, from sitting on their lap and ruffling their hair to getting in their face and kissing them. You dont have to do it to the opposite sex either. ;)
The victim must say "Honey I love you, but I just can't smile." while keeping a completely straight face. If they fail, they are it, if they succeed, the game continues to the next victim.

you could always just go with a classic - poker/strip poker. haha good times...but if you want something a little more outwardly adventerous, you could have them all sneak out of their cabins and tp other cabins or toss someone in the lake or go skinny-dipping in the lake (as long as its not too cold). i've never played this at a camp...but at home we sometimes have scavenger hunts where people pair up and have to find as many random things from a list that they can (like for guys, a girl's bikini top, or a fork or a lock of hair or something weird like that!) but yeah, those are my ideas! hope they help!!

At my summer camp some kids broke into the clubhouse and put shaving cream on the ceiling fans, so that when the staff turned them on in the morning it flew everywhere.

They also got drunk on vodka, but thay isn't very creative.

One of my fondest 'crazy memories' from school camp was when we got the biggest guy in our class (a really tall, muscular kind of bloke) into a metal wheelbarrow, and then drove him into an electric fence. XD It THREW HIM OUT OF IT, I swear, and none of us had ever laughed so hard in all our lives!!

At another camp, we gaffa-taped two guys to a tree. That was pretty awesome. Indulged in some Turkish Oil Wrestling (...with candles all around, I don't know HOW that never ended in complete disaster!?!?!) and invented the brilliant and hilarious game of Canoe Quidditch.

Damn I love camps!

I once went on a camp where we were sort of the 'senior' group (but not staff) and one of the activities for the junoirs involved a mini digger. So later that night we snuck out of our tents and stole it and drove it down the road (they don't seem to require a proper key, we used a pocket knife)

The next night we found a large barrel and stole a bunch of Raro and oranges from the kitchen and made punch it it. We forgot to tell them that we also threw in quite a few caffine pills and one of the kids ended up throwing up and we got in heaps of trouble for 'selling drugs to minors'. (Apparently caffeine pills are illegal for under 16s who knew?)

On the same camp we also blocked the entrance to the leaders' area with hay bales, ate insects on a dare and snorted sherbet. Good times.

Always a good one!

At my camp we have mud hikes where everyone comes back covered head to toe in mud. Literally, head to toe. In their hair, their clothes, all over their faces... it's awesome. The more hardcore cabins go to their next activities (like trail rides or whatever) still covered in mud.

At night the older boy cabins (ages 13 through 16) serenade the girls cabins. Some of them even bring like, glowsticks and stuff and turn it into mini raves.

One of the boys cabins a few years ago gave one of their counselors an allergy pill in his drink (to make him sleep) and then dragged him down to the lake, put him into a canoe, and set him adrift.

A counselor one year set off a bunch of fireworks at closing campfire, then made the director and associate director chase him around the woods for an hour or so. He was fired though.

That's all I can think of right now.

Hm.... camp games... camp pranks...

I remember one year at camp, a boys and girls cabin in one of the upper levels (they were all like, eighth and ninth graders and I was a sixth grader) kind of had a prank war. The guys TPed the girl's cabin and in return, they snuck into the guy's cabin while they were taking showers and stole all of the guy's clean boxers and put them in the trees surrounding the guy's cabin. Then the guys got up during breakfast and declared open warfare on the girl's cabin and started war chants over their bacon and eggs. A few cabins joined them, but it never escalated much past that. A day or two later, all remnants of the feud were gone, except that the guys had to make due with slightly damp boxers for the rest of the session...

Camp games you say?

Well, there's always Never Have I Ever, Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle and similar things. A game that I've seen played on field trips, although not at camp is a game called The Gay Game. Basically, two people of the same gender, at least one of them being straight, are instructed to 'go as far as they can' with differing final goals, until one of them gets freaked and pulls away. Usually, I've seen it played with making out being winning.

Oh yeah... then there was that time that me and a few of my friends went swimming in like, forty degree water when it was barely sunny out and were forced to drive back to the campsite wrapped in sleeping bags and hugging other people who weren't as wet as us.

When in doubt, release the plot bunnies on your friends and laugh. And then get back to work.

Three personal favorites from my years at camp:
During a prank war between the oldest girls and oldest boys (we were probably 16 at the time) the girls snuck up to the boys cabins while they were out on a trip and moved everything inside (beds, bookshelves, trunks, everything) onto the roof. They were lucky it didn't rain.
They retaliated by putting one of the smallest horses (a bad tempered little paint) in the middle of our cabin. Not so pretty to clean up.
A few summers later, when I was staff, some of the same boys (also staff, by that point) dragged rafts, kayaks and paddles into the support staff cabin, inflated them and left them there on our beds. Funny, but a pain to clean up.

Things I have done while on camp:
- milking cows in the middle of the night (it was more trying instead of really milking them ...)
- drawing on people's faces with permanent marker while they were sleeping
- locking a guy in the shower and turning off warm water so there was only cold water, than stealing his clothes ... he deserved it ... we eventually gave back his clothes and we became good friends which was quite funny because we always picked on each other
- taking someone's clothes and pillows for a few days so they had to walk in the same clothes for a few days ... they could laugh about it afterwards but at first they were angry. When I think about it now it was rather childish but I like 12 or something :p
- ...

hmm, I wasn't really a 'naughty' kid ... all those things were my best friend's idea and I just tagged along :p
Nothing really crazy either ... Some guys did act crazy when we were around the camp fire, they had gotten drunk and decided to put out the fire by peeing it out ... and they even succeeded :p

My camp was only a week long, but I remember one year when all of the counsellors organised a "midnight madness." We all went out to the ropes course in the dark (it was maybe 9 or 10 at night) and we got to do things like go down zip lines and climb the rock-climbing walls in the dark, with glowsticks. They even let us go down the zip lines backwards, which was awesome. (Not so much if you're scared of heights, but...I'm not. XD)

My camp councelor once dared some boys to run through the girls' bunks wearing only towels, crawl across the cafereria screaming "FOOD!" and hold hands with all the male councelors.

When did my lighthearted standalone urban fantasy turn into a family saga?

You know those glow sticks that you crack, and then they glow? my friends and i sucked all the glow out of them one camp and then tried to see if the glow could get passed around by making out.

We snuck into each others tents snuck of site wandered around the village and and got into a debate with a bunch of drunk cornish people about whether cornwall should be a seperate country.

It was a scout camp, so we burnt the other groups flags, made jokes about their nationalities (they did the same and pretended to be overly posh campers)

we also rounded up all the groups and told them that people with mopeds had got in and we had to chase them out.

we choked this one guy and locked him in the shower rooms (unisex communial showers) twas fun =]

then theres always smoking behind the bushes smuggling in alcohol, the usual.

EDIT: I just remembered we also threw the smoking area away so that the 'older' kids didnt have to use it.
