I'm 15 years old and I'm going camping with 5 adults, 3 boys (ages 5, 9, and 10) and 6 girls (ages 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14). What are some fun games (besides board games) that all of these ages will enjoy?

A scavenger hunt would be good. Could divide into 5 teams of 3 each, with an adult on each team to keep an eye of the youngest.
Make a list of 20 or 30 items that could be found in and around the campground, things that the teams would have to secure and bring back to the campsite after a designated amount of time.

If you are in a campground, then build a fire, and tell some good stories. If it isnt crowded then get your flashlights out and play flashlight tag. During the day hit up the trails around, most of them loop and range in difficulty, so Im sure that there are at least a few that everyone can do. Also being young you MIGHT not have to have a lisence to fish, thats fun also during the day/evening. Dont forget your marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate for smores. * a little hint, if you spend your day hiking, playing, fishing ect. you arent going to be up all night bored to death.* Horseshoes is fun for everyone, and so is ladderball if you are familiar with that. Have fun!

My nieces and nephews LOVE playing charades around the campfire, and they really get the adults involved. Lots of fun.
Someone usually brings along a ghost story book. We pass the book around and take turns reading the stories, while holding a flashlight under your chin... sort of lights up your face in a creepy way. That's always popular.
If you have an open field, kickball is a blast for all ages.

Since you have young kiddos with you going...you may want to play flashlight tag.
Horseshoes, eye spy, what shapes are in the clouds?
Just a few!
If your going to a state park you may want to see if they have a mini muesum and check out what they have and see if they have questionaires and have them fill it out. Some places will have this and they will get something for filling it out!

silly sally and black magic are two brain teasers that are fun to play...only thing is, only you and one or two other people can KNOW the rules...the others have to figure the rules out.
Silly Sally - everyone else has to figure out what Silly Sally likes and if they think they know the answer, they have to ask you without others listening and they have to prove to you that they have it figured out by telling you something that Silly Sally likes. Here is the rule...Silly Sally likes words with double letters. so, she likes Anne but not an.
email me and I can tell you the other game...I have to go for now!!!
