    Make a list of random outdoor things to find.

      Came here to type just this. My Dad and Grandpa did this. I always enjoyed it when I was little.

        Card games, Yahtzee, dominoes to name a few. The simple things that everyone can enjoy. Read a book, tell stories. Have fun !

            Are there any pecan trees? If so, my kids love going picking for pecans. I think they think it's like an Easter egg hunt. If not, can also go looking for cool pine cones or acorns.

              Bring and old boot lace and have her find a nice stick. Carve a rudimentary bow and a few arrows. It will provide a few hours of fun as she tries to shoot it

                If it is at a camp with other campers you can have them hunt down different brands of beer. They get to hunt, you get a free case.

                  Get a mason jar or two and catch bugs/dirt snakes/scorpions/tarantulas by flipping over rocks and logs. Then do it under river rocks with a little net for aquatic bugs/crawdads. Bring a slingshot and shoot cans or stumps. Fire is always fun.

                  The highlight of my 8th and 9th birthdays were treasure hunts designed by my then 72 yr old neighbor/best friend. He ran us up and down the street and all through the woods; the 'loot' was a barlow knife one year and then a surplus military folding shovel. He had recently finished reading Tom Sawyer to me when I 'found' the Barlow knife, Tom dug up Injun Joe's treasure with a Barlow. Very good memories for me.

                        Let her play with fire, my daughter loved it. Bring a shovel, let her dig in the dirt...my girly girl loved it.

                            Star gaze at night... Allow her to be a kid, ask her what she wants to explore. Teacher about fire and allow her to start the camp fire...
