To add an element of surprise and celebration to the hiking trip, there are several ideas for decorations and surprises on the trail. You can decorate trekking poles or water bottles, hang a banner or flags, decorate the campsite with party lights and pom poms, and bring along party animals like llamas to carry extra celebratory supplies. Other fun surprises include decorating the birthday person’s tent or leaving a little gift on their camp pillow, doing the dishes for the day, or delivering coffee, hot cocoa, or tea into their tent. Scavenger hunts and dance parties at camp can also make the celebration more exciting.
