Craft ideas for middle school boys at summer camp?
I am crafts director at a summer camp, and I am having trouble coming up with crafts that the boys will enjoy. Keep in mind that they are middle school age. We will do crafts an hour a day for 4 days, if that helps. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you =)
Boats out of milk cartons.
PIrate maps.
decorate walking sticks with feathers, bits of leather, painting
paper airplanes (this really can keep them busy for hours just have somewhere that they can also throw planes without hititng other people)
painted rocks
woodburning things.
bug traps out of milk cartons.
Sometimes they just want to draw and color, just give them a theme like pirate ship, ninja secret lairs or design a car and they will go at it for hours and then they wil explain it to you for hours
Making Signs for things, like beware signs for their bedrooms at home
Anything with popsicle sticks (this is a little tricky cause you’ve got to use hot glue, the elmers doesn’t dry fast enough)
Mosaics, weird but true middle school boys enjoy puzzle like things and this is something that I have found they get really into
a lot of people don’t think this age of boys like crafts, boys of any age love to build things and use their imagination which is pretty much crafts.
War paint is always a favorite too, but its really messy
