Camouflage Party Games
Hide & Seek
Hide & Seek can be a great game to play at a Camo party.  Paint the kids faces with camo paint and see who can hide the best from the other players.   At night flashlights are fun to use for a game of flashlight Camo Hide & Seek.

In Plain Site
For this party game you will need an item that is camouflage colored such as a piece of cloth, army man or plastic toy jeep.  The first player takes the item and "hides" it in the backyard - but the item cannot be completely hidden from view.  They must try to camouflage the item so that it blends in with the background.  After the item is hidden the rest of the players come out to a designated spot and try and find the item.  They must stay within the spotting area and try to find it using only their eyes (or you can provide binoculars).    On "go" start a stop watch and see how long it takes the kids to spot the item.   The child who spots the item gets a point and the one who "hid" the item gets a point for every 15 seconds that their item is not found.      

Camo Obstacle Course
Set up a big obstacle course that kids will run through or have relay style races in teams.  Teams compete to see who can finish the obstacle course first and individual players can compete with a stop watch.  Make a mud pit that they have to crawl through or step through tires or hula hoops while all the other players throw water balloons at them.  Stake several rows of string about 2 feet off the ground that they have to crawl underneath. Trampolines, swing sets and climbing gyms can all be used to make the course.

Water Relay Games
Teams complete to see which one can fill their water jug first.   You'll need a very large container filled with water for both teams to use and two plastic milk jugs - one for each team.  Teams are given a spoon, sponge or cup with holes in the bottom and on "go" race to see who can fill the milk jugs first.   The large container and the teams jugs should be a good distance apart ... the farther apart the more water they will spill while running to fill their jugs. 

Activities
Face painting - paint the guests faces in camouflage colors.

For younger children gather several big boxes and paint them in camouflage colors. Cut out doors and windows and make a large fort or two smaller forts to play in.   In the summer have a water balloon fight. 

Camo or Hunting Party Food Ideas

Mix up separate bowls of 3 or 4 colors of camouflage colored frosting and let the kids make their own camouflage cupcakes. 
Set up a camouflage candy buffet using all green, brown (chocolate!) and black candies to fill the containers.
Have a cookout with hotdogs and/or hamburgers.
Make S'mores over a campfire.
