Tons of fun  ideas for girls camp certification that’ll have the girls loving certification time rather than dreading it! 

Yesterday I shared more details about how we ran our certification fair for girls camp last year. Now, I’m going to share the different activities we did for each of the girls camp certification requirements we covered along with links to printables and instructions for all the different booths. Please leave a comment or email me if you have any specific questions about how we put everything together.

Just to warn you, we didn’t cover all certification during our activity. We did separate activities for first aid and a couple of other things. We also split our girls into two and had one half playing some of these fun camping games while the others did certification!

I’ve included a basic description of each activity below along with a link to download full instructions and all the materials (e.g., printables) you’ll need for the activity. You can also get certification cards (for the girls to fill out as they pass things off) here!

Tons of great girls camp certification ideas and free printables!

Girls Camp Certification Activity Ideas (by level)

1st Year Certification Ideas

Principles of Sanitation – Trash to Treasure Hunt

Each of the girls will be sent out on a trash hunt where they will be looking for pictures of particular types of trash in the wooded area near your station. The types of trash on their hunt will be things that teach them about sanitation such as a recyclable item, something that is biodegradable, something that can be burned in a fire, etc.

Each of the girls will go out with a trash hunt card and a pen/marker to fill out their cards. When they return with their trash hunt card completed, they can trade their trash for treasure – a piece of candy and a certification stamp in their passport.

Need another fun trash and recycling idea – this certification olympics has another really fun option!

      We did a first aid hike Marisa where our YCLs dressed up like victims and the younger girls had to walk around, diagnose the victims, and tell their leader how to treat the victim.
