In summer 2025, I was the Field Games Director at YMCA Camp Sloper. It was my job to come up with fun outdoor games for kids ages 5-15 to play.

The Big Book of Games

This is a resource I created at the beginning of the summer, taking an amalgomation of games from various other websites along with ones I created or rewrote the directions for myself. While admittedly not the best practice, some directions remain unchanged from their original source (to save myself a lot of time before the summer started). Therefore, I do not take credit for writing the directions for all of these games.

Here is a link to the camp resource:

Many of the games included come from the sources below. I highly recommend looking through some of these links if you want to discover more outdoor games!
