Looking for a unique way to celebrate Halloween this year? Why not combine the magic of summer camp with the spooky fun of Halloween?

In this guide, we’ll show you how to throw an unforgettable camp-themed Halloween party that’s full of outdoor games, DIY costumes, and classic campfire treats!

Spooky Campfire Stories

No camp-themed party is complete without ghost stories around the fire. Set up a faux campfire indoors or outdoors, and let everyone take turns telling scary tales. Add a fun twist by making each story a little camp-themed—think haunted cabins or ghostly campers!

 

DIY Camp-Themed Costumes

Get your guests involved by encouraging them to dress as camp counselors, explorers, or spooky forest creatures. You can even host a costume contest with categories like “Most Creative” or “Scariest Camper.”

 

Halloween Camp Games

Take traditional camp games and give them a Halloween makeover. Try a glow-in-the-dark scavenger hunt, where kids have to find hidden “spooky” items like fake spiders and bats. You can also organize a pumpkin toss using mini pumpkins as the game balls.

 

Campfire Snacks with a Halloween Twist

End the night with a campfire treat! Make classic s’mores, but swap the chocolate for caramel squares or peanut butter cups for a deliciously spooky twist.
