Adapt the suggested activities to your particular circumstances and needs. Take the required materials to camp ahead of time and tell the boys to bring suitable costumes. Preparing for the big day is part of the fun. The day before the event, set various tent-groups to work on the concessions. This means staking out areas with posts and string or rope, setting up the activities, and arranging duty rosters so that the boys in each group take turns operating their concession.
Some boys make posters, streamers and tickets.
Based on good turns, which include cleaning up the campsite, give each boy a certain number of tickets to use at the concessions. Keep tickets circulating by using them as prizes on that day. Use inexpensive party favours from novelty stores as prizes. A water-filled balloon fight between two teams of campers lined up in rows opposite each other is a lot of fun, and a good cooler. If water is handy, time boys in speed swimming or canoe racing.
