Has anyone ever used these? What do you think of them, say for use on campouts or as a gathering activity before a troop meeting?

Camping Challenge is a fun card game designed for anyone that likes to camp outdoors. This custom card game is targeted for the Boy Scouts of America. The game is designed to present challenges and remedies of what any camper may encounter on a outdoor camping trip. This is a great card game to include in a camper's backpack for it also includes numbering and lettering to serve as a standard card-playing deck. Examples of camping challenges and the appropriate 'counter' in this card game include First Aid, Weather, Meal Chores, Cooking, Knots, Mosquitoes, Hiking, Orienteering, Emergency, Campsite Poison Ivy - plus it includes Force Cards, and Relief Cards to add to the card playing strategies. A unique feature of this game is the inclusion of a Tornado card which (as in a real campout) stops the game. Players also can use the extra cards (included) to create their own cards. Camping Challenge is for anyone who wants a different kind of game to play at home or on their next campout.

 

Patrick Flaherty is an active adult volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America and other youth-oriented programs. With many hours in the outdoors and numerous camping trips with his scouting sons, he has developed this unique, but fun card game. As a father of three sons (all who have achieved their Eagle Scout rank in Boy Scouts) Flaherty knows what kids like and the many challenges and endless fun of camping. This game reflects on several situations that campers must learn to enjoy and to safely camp.
