Mary
Does anyone have an overnight summer camp they can recommend? We're looking for one that has it all; lots of water things (slides, bouncers, trampolines), maybe zip-lining, archery, arts & crafts, rock-climbing, ropes course, maybe web courses, performing arts, and hopefully water-skiing and horseback riding. If you have one you can recommend, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, we have four children ages 11, 12, 13, and 14. Is there a way that they wouldn't be separated and could do things together, that'd be great. Thanks in advance!

It's hard to recommend a camp. What state will you be in? How much are you willing to pay? How long do you want your kids to be there? (some camps only offer 1 week sessions)
No camp will allow all four kids to stay together. Cabin groups are based on age (or sometimes school grade) and you would want your children to be with kids there own ages, make some new friends, enjoy the experience of being a bit independent. But, don't worry, most evenings camps have all the campers get together for evening activities. They would also see each other during meals.
All traditional residential (sleep away) camps that I've worked for or been to have a ropes course (usually with a zip-line), archery, crafts, and rock-climbing. Many have horseback riding and water activities like sailing and water skiing. Pennsylvania and New York have some great camps with all those activities and more. Just make sure the camp is ACA (American Camp Association) accredited. That way you know they have passed a lot of safety requirements.
I live in California and there are some great camps out here too.
Good luck in your search.

Answer
Pirate: have everyone dress up like pirates have your décor be mostly grey black and white then randomly throw in red. On the website you gave the have a whole bunch of pirate themed bouncers and such but if you look at the play spaces and combos they have one that Is an actual pirate ship so check that out. Also you could have a treasure hunt with clues likeâ¦enter through the passage way to find a room that will hear a boom when you pop the pink balloonâ¦hide the pink balloon and you will have already put your next clue inside before you blew it up.
Carnival: have carnival games like the these: buy really cheap lil fish and put them in red cups with water obviously fill clear cup with just water and the fill green cups with water and a small prize and scatter them on a table outsideâ¦buy a piece of cork board and pin balloons by their tails make them stand back and throw darts trying to pop one if they do give them a prize also look into the entertainers section of that website they have clowns magicians and face painters all typical things at a carnival. Also look into getting a dunk tank. All of their carnival games look fun as well
Hollywood: get a red carpet they have those at party city, make it like an award ceremony and hand out a survey filled like who here has the best smile, eyes, laugh ECT. Count the votes and give awards to the winners. Then have a dj and just dance.
Club: ok well I suggest you make it a glow in the dark club buy a black light and tell your guests to wear white then hand out glow sticks, necklaces, and bracelets anything turn off the lights and just have your black lights on and possibly a strobe light then let the dj play music and you guys dance
Luau: hand out lays at the door and make smoothies or virgin frozen fruit prinks also have a lot of fruit try fruit kabobs they look so cute. Then play Hawaiian version games like toss the pineapple and such. The Hawaiian dancers could be cool and they could teach you guys how to but they may be pricey
