Camp Rena

What every recreation leader should know.
The best camp songs, games, and fun activities for kids.

I'm Rena Azevedo Dein and I've put together my own ultimate collection of the recreation basics. If I were stranded on a deserted island (with 50 kids!) these are the books and tapes I would want to have with me. With just these few resources I could build a recreation program that would entertain, educate, and stimulate for months on end. This is the best of the best of everything I know about having fun with children - camp songs, games, arts & crafts, science & nature, and just plain silly activities. And now I offer them to you.

The Ultimate Recreation Library

Don't worry, you don't have to know a thing about working with a large group of kids. I've developed recreation leadership training videos that will show you step-by-step how to teach that cool camp song or lead an action-packed game. So whether you're a recreation novice or responsible for training others, you'll find this site especially helpful. I understand your training time and budgets are limited. These tools will get you and your staff up and running quickly.


There's nothing fancy about many of these items. I've specifically created or selected them for their rich content and variety. Please remember, they're intended as training aids for your staff, not entertainment for your group. My goal is to make you "The Star."

I've helped tens of thousands become better leaders. Parks & Recreation Departments, YMCA & YWCAs, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys & Girls Clubs, 4-H/Cooperative Extension, Summer Camps, Churches, Day Care Centers, Schools and many other youth organizations and individuals have made Camp Rena an integral part of their staff training and resources. Camp Rena products are carried in such nationally distributed catalogs as the American Camping Association, Redleaf Press, and School Age Notes. However, many items are found only in this collection or are generally hard to find.

Be sure to visit my FREE Tips For Leaders section for fun activities, ideas for staff training, icebreakers, and recreation for teens.

I hope these resources help bring more joy, happiness, and success to you, your staff, and the people you serve.
