Make a large wooden sign at the entrance to the "Camp Site" and have other signs pointing the way to the toilets and showers, picnic area and wildlife trail.
Set the tents around a central seating area with the campfire as a centerpiece. Lay out low benches for sitting on or just use mats or planks of wood balanced on rocks.
Decorate the inside of the tents with streamers and balloons
Around the edges of the camp, erect some citronella torches. These will keep the bugs away and add to the camp atmosphere.
Place cuddly toys in the tress and bushes for the younger kids to discover or for the older kids, hang plastic bugs around the camp. Use glow in the dark bugs and stars which will be fun later on when it gets dark.
Hang multi colored Chinese lanterns around the garden. Some kids just can't help playing with candles so be careful where you place them.
Set up a food table and cover with green or camouflage cloth. Use plastic tableware or tin plates and cups. Provide bug stickers for each child to personalize his/her own plate and mug. It saves muddling them up.
You can also add:
Bug stickers and tattoes
T-shirts with the name of the camp and date of the birthday camping party

borrow some tents from friends and family to put up in the yard- maybe sleeping bags too to put inside the tents
picnic tables- folding chairs
fire ring- maybe a fake fire inside
tiki torches
camp lights- those ones people always hang from their campers like owls and stuff
get lanterns and flashlights
make smores or hot dogs over the fire if you make a real fire!
bug zapper
screen tent for the food
you can give the kids small stuff from the dollar store like a bug holder, bug net, small flashlight, sand toys
