Ola newschoolers!

Next week im going to coach at a surf/adventure camp for kids, besides coaching them on the surf and outdoor activities i'll also need to find thing to keep them busy during the day....

I know that a lot of you guys have been on numerous camps so please give me some ideas for cool activities during the day!

The age is 14-18y old and we're located on a camping in the northeast of spain, we're a minute walking away from the beach and are located in a mountainous region ...

+K and e-cookies will be awarded to good ideas!

 
I'm personally responsible for a group of 9 kids so i'm already bringing my slackline, frisbee and a couple of longboards....

so if you know any other fun games/activities to keep these guys busy, let me know!
 
Movies to kill time, if there is free shit involved kids will do any thing for it so that pretty much ooens you uo to any bizzare idea you can think of like a raw egg eating contest.
 
Soccer, basketball, kickball, sports games, entertaining shit is always fun anything that keeps them moving, huge ass waterballoon fights
 
Yea dude bring a soccer ball thell be all over that, maybe a beatbox? spanish people like dancing right?
 
we're fully insured and i'm working as a volunteer so hardly anything can fall on me ...

+ we already have a camp with longboard/skateboard initiations so don't think this is going to be a problem :)
 
Paracord bracelets. Tell them it's a survival bracelet and get like black and camo and some buckles and teach them how to make them.
 
water balloon bowling (slingshot + people)

tie dye shirts

water balloons

maybe bring a tarp and a hose to have an ultimate slip and slide into the ocean.

 
The druggame, 3 teams. Every team has its own base, and and has Like 50 bags of 'coke' and a lot of tiny pieces of paper with a name form the opposite team on it. A kid gets a pièce of paper and it says team b, he then needs to run to the base of team be hand over his paper and will receive one bag of coke. Then he must run back to his own base and give the bag. His team will now receive 1 point. The team with the most points after 15 minutes will win the game. Also there need to be some police officers ego can catch the kids and take their drugs, then They need to start all over. This is typed on a dutch phone while pooping so dont mind the grammar mistakes. Also this needs around 30 kids....
 
some good ones so far but i'm sure you guys know more! dig into your camp experiences and give me something good!

i was also looking into doing some kind of 'rider of the day' game throughout the entire camp where each evening i pick a rider of the day and give him/her a prize. I was also thinking of picking a 'loser of the day', the loser can challenge every other team member except the rider of the day for a duel in whatever he wants, ie. eating competition, running competition, whatever... the loser of this challenge becomes the new loser of the day, whoever is the loser of the day at dinner time needs to wash the dishes of the winner ...

so if you have any cool ideas of spicing this game up, let me know!
 
^ hold a contest for certain things, air's whip's etc...

if they do it the best they are the winner, the worst they are the loser.
 
Bring the group into a nearby city and go sightseeing and maybe let them buy some stuff, if you can.
