In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran are party planning, but it’s not really warm enough to host an outdoor party, so why not bring the outdoors in? They planned a camping party that could be enjoyed by teenage guys who are craving the adventures of the outdoors, but don’t really want to venture out in the cold Washington temperatures. This would also be a great idea for kids’ birthday parties too!
Indoor Camping Party Step #1: Campfire S’mores
River and Terran started the planning by figuring out how they could achieve the ultimate camping snack inside. While some people will make their smores in the microwave, the results are not the same. So, the co-hosts started a fire in their indoor fireplace and roasted some marshmallows at the fireside.
After shooting, they discovered these awesome smokeless Tabletop campfires that could achieve the same results and be set up in the middle of a circle of tents or forts, so friends wouldn’t be required to change location in order to roast marshmallows.
Indoor Camping Party Step #2: Invitations
The second step was to design the party invitations. A camping theme, of course, but River and Terran like to create their own invitations instead of buying from the store. This is a great craft for kids and teens of all ages, and a great way to save a little money in the party planning process. You can pick up thirty blank cards with envelopes for about six bucks on Amazon.
Indoor Camping Party Step #3: Balloons
River and Terran opted for solid green balloons that suited their personality, matched the theme, and worked better for the intended age range of the guests. However, for kids, they highly recommended these great camping-themed balloons.
You could blow up the balloons ahead of time, or make it part of the experience. The co-hosts had a bit of fun with the balloons, competing to see who could blow up the balloons fastest, who could get the biggest balloon without popping it, and playing keep away while carrying balloons in their mouth.
Indoor Camping Party Step #4: Tent Space
When River and Terran were shooting this episode, they were still trying to figure out how to layout and decorate the space. They built forts and started to decorate the space, but decided that they needed to do a bit more research. Ultimately, they found these Small Tents for Indoor Camping Experience on Amazon that would fit in the space. Each tent accommodated two people in sleeping bags. They invited friends to bring their own sleeping bags and pillows. Ladders were brought in and the rest of the streamers were hung. The tents were set up in a circle so the guys could visit long into the night.
Indoor Camping Party Step #5: Camp Games
The last thing that was planned were the games that would be played. Cards and board games were available as well, but River and Terran found that they could set up their cornhole boards in the hallway for a real camping game experience. They bought the boards and refinished them with their own artwork. If you want to design your own cornhole boards, you can buy these unfinished cornhole boards (with bags and carrying case). Be sure to put a couple coats of white paint down first so your artwork really pops.
