Birthday Party Ideas for 11 year olds

[Tini99]

Would love to hear any suggestions for a birthday party for an 11 year old boy that does not involve video game arcades, laser tag or paintball. Ideas that involve kids using their native creativity and unique, off-the-beaten-path ideas are all welcome!

We have a forest school play near us that hosts amazing looking parties where children learn to make fire etc, something like that?

It would depend on the activity but probably around 8 boys. Budget isn't really an issue.
