Here are some Viking-themed camp activities you might enjoy:

Viking Games: Organize traditional Viking games like tug-of-war, archery, and stone lifting. You can also include a "Viking ship race" where teams build and race their own miniature ships.
Crafting: Have campers create their own Viking shields, helmets, and jewelry. You can use cardboard, paint, and other craft supplies to make it fun and engaging.
Storytelling: Gather around a campfire and share Viking myths and legends. You can even have a storytelling competition where campers create their own Viking tales.
Cooking: Prepare Viking-inspired meals like roasted meats, bread, and stews. You can also teach campers how to make traditional Viking flatbread.
Treasure Hunt: Set up a Viking treasure hunt with clues and challenges that lead to hidden "treasure" around the camp.
Viking Language: Teach campers some basic phrases in Old Norse and have them use these phrases throughout the camp.
Role-Playing: Create a Viking village and have campers take on different roles such as warriors, blacksmiths, and traders. They can interact and trade with each other using Viking coins.
Boat Building: If you have access to a body of water, you can have campers build small Viking boats and test them out.
Viking Music and Dance: Introduce campers to traditional Viking music and dances. You can even have a Viking-themed dance party.
Runes and Symbols: Teach campers about Viking runes and symbols. They can create their own rune stones or write messages using runes.
