Printing tips

  • Print at 100% so WILDERNESS and MARSHMALLOW stay full length in the grid.
  • No artwork to drain ink — a cabin’s worth of copies costs almost nothing.
  • One file prints whole on Letter or A4 — handy when copying abroad.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these puzzles okay to take to day camp?
They are built for it — clean one-per-page grids that print or photocopy cheaply for a cabin or a rainy-day session, with a key for each so a counselor can confirm answers fast.
Which camp words are hidden in the grids?
Outdoor staples like CANOE, ARCHERY, HIKING, and BONFIRE, gear such as FLASHLIGHT and SLEEPING bag, and settings like LAKE and MEADOW. Each puzzle pulls a fresh 20 from a pool of over 40.
Can a counselor run these as a group activity?
Yes — copy a class set under the footer license, hand them out at a table or around the fire, and let campers race or solve at their own pace. Only resale is excluded.
Do the grids work for younger campers?
Words run in all eight directions, so younger campers do best with the word list visible or paired with an older buddy. For a gentler grid, print our easy kids word searches instead.
