Camp Pranks

[VandyRedskins21]

I'm about to go to my youth group's church camp for the last time in a few days and me and my friends are wanting to pull a lot of pranks throughout the week. So I was wondering, do you guys have any good suggestions for pranks? Or any places that I could find good ideas?

Re: Camp Pranks

We pulled this on my brother-in-law at his "stag" party. He's a youth minister, so you can imagine how tame the party was.... still a good time though. Regardless, one of his friends came up with this one. Basically, everyone is in on this except the victim:

The target is typically an excitable boy..... one who loves to argue and call others on their skills. You get a fairly brawny guy to start a fake argument with someone else. The "argument" (in ear's shot of the victim) is how this brawny guy is bragging about how if he sets 5 guys side to side on the floor in a certain arrangement, he can lift them up together. The other "arguer" starts to loudly call him on it...saying he's full of it, etc. The "victim" overhearing this will hopefully take the bait and deny the brawny guy, regardless of how strong he thinks he is, could never do this.

The brawny guy starts to arrange the guys on the ground; victim in the middle, with his arms and leg in a snow angel type position; then he positions a guy on either side of the victim, crossing their legs over his and resting their heads on his upper arms (basically pinning him down); then the outside 2 guys, 1 on each side, do the same thing, crossing their legs over the inside 2 guys and resting their heads on their arms and, if the victim is tall enough, will be covering his hands as well. At this point the victim is screwed.

The brawny guys then proceeds to straddle the victim and grab him by the belt and top of the pants as if he is going to dead lift him. He's not. You see while this is all going on, someone else has something ready to shove down the victims pants where the brawny guy is lifting them up..... whatever you want: mud, shaving cream, a hose with ice cold water.... be creative!

Nothing wrong with the classic somebody slipping away quietly, then tell a scary story, and have that person come running in at the most skittish person and scaring them.

Re: Camp Pranks

I am working at a church camp this summer and among the pranks I have seen so far, this is by far my favorite: We have two main cabins about 100 or so feet apart. The most effecient way to get from one to the other is to go out the front door, go up the stairs and you're there. So one group from the other main cabin set up a "crime scene" complete with caution tape and body outlines (made of painter's tape) so that the campers in that cabin had to out the back door, all the way around to get to the other main cabin (which is where the dining hall is and where pretty much everything takes place). So that was fairly entertaining.

Also, you can never go wrong with the classic seran wrap prank. So far this summer I've seen two cars and a fellow councilor wrapped in seran wrap.

Re: Camp Pranks

If you have bunk beds, saran wrap is always good, just make sure to leave plenty of room around their head.

If there are teenage girls there, they should have some stuff animals. We got some and made some ransom videos with night vision and some masks on around the camp.

If someone leaves their clothes out or just is messy, you can take it and leave clues to where you hide it.

Re: Camp Pranks

Well what we ended up doing was we went into the middle school cabin and threw about 5 axe bombs, a few stink bombs, and like 3 air horns around 2 in the morning. Needless to say, the kids were pissed.

We were also gonna do one but it got called off last minute. We were gonna pretend that at around 2 in the morning someone from our cabin was gonna be baptized. We would make everyone walk down to the camp pool which is on the opposite end of the camp. Then one of the people would start leading in some songs then we would launch water balloons (we had about 500 balloons too) at everyone. I really wish that we were able to do it but oh well.
