Give each kid a flashlight.
Play flashlight tag.

Camp Tee Shirts: I bought iron on transfers and packages of undershirts. I made a camp logo on my computer and then you just print it onto the transfer and iron it on. They took about 2 hours to make. They came out really cute.

Lion Hunt: My husband was the lion and we had to follow the trail of suckers to find him. When we found him the kids tried to get him by throwing balls at him (soft ones). They thought it was so fun and they collected suckers on the way.

Cake: I took the picture that was on the tee shirt to the store and they put it on the cake. It would also be cute to make a tent cake or a person in a sleeping bag.

Prize Tent: We had a large tent set up for the kids to put their pillows and play in and another smaller tent for a game. We blew up balloons to fill the tent and inside some of them we put glow sticks. They had to go into the tent and find the balloons with the prize. They came out and sat on the balloons to pop them and get their surprise. They loved wearing the glow sticks around their necks in the dark.

Flashlight tag: We gave the kids small flashlights and they ran around the yard playing tag. It looked cool to have the kids running around with their glow sticks and flashlights. They played until parents came to get them.
