Building Teamwork Drills for Camp

As we gear up for summer camp, I’m looking for effective drills that promote teamwork among diverse skill levels. I’ve found that simple relay races not only enhance physical skills but also build camaraderie. What activities have worked well for your teams?

Agree that building camaraderie is key — one effective activity we’ve used is the ‘Cross the River’ challenge where teams must work together to get everyone across using limited resources. It’s great for problem-solving and communication. Have you tried something like that?
