Many kids go through a Pokemon-loving phase, and mine are no exception. For my oldest, her Pokemon obsession started at about age 8 and went to age 11.
When she was in this age range, we did a bunch of Pokemon activities, and now that my middle daughter is coming up on age eight, I’ve put together this list of Pokemon summer camp ideas that you can use to create a Pokemon summer camp!
If you like these Pokemon activity ideas, then you’ll also want to check out the complete list of DIY summer camp themes that we have here on STEAMsational.

How to Host a Pokemon Summer Camp
Calling this set of five-days of Pokemon-inspired activities a “summer camp” is a bit grand, but if you have kids that love Pokemon, then they will adore these at-home Pokemon activities.
All you need is to ensure you have the day’s activities planned and the supplies for each of your projects.
I like to allow about 3 hours each session for my “camp,” but if you want to do longer or shorter, adjust the Pokemon activity ideas as needed.

Pokemon Summer Camp Ideas
Each day has a lesson plan, an activity, a craft, and a snack, all with a fun Pokemon theme!
You can do all five days in one week, one Pokemon day a week, or just take a few of your favorite Pokemon activities from the list below and have one long Pokemon camp day.
You can also used many of these ideas in a tradtional summer camp or for fun summer daycare activities for older kids who are out of school for the summer.
If you need extra help, make sure to read the complete guide to setting up a DIY summer camp.
