Camping With Kids

Camping is fun for kids and it is not that difficult to organize such a treat for them. It does not have to be expensive either.

We have published a series about camping and how to plan a camping holiday. Although we had camping tips por the beginner, the articles did not address, however, the problems and joys of camping with children directly, so find some extra tips to make camping with kids easier.

Planning a Camping Trip with Your Kids

• hen camping outdoors in unfamiliar areas, everyone gets a whistle. Young and old.
• Choose a campsite that fits your needs, many campsites have full plumbing available if you’re worried about roughing it with the kids
• Check for schedules of tours and guided hikes near your campsite, call ahead of look online at places like National Park Service.
• Pack the right gear, including child size utensils if you have toddlers
• Tent or cabin, what’s right for you? Some campgrounds you can tent, but have access to plumbing in central locations to get the best of roughing it with the modern convenience of a flushable toilet and a running shower
• Camp fire goodies, don’t forget the s'mores! But marshmallows aren’t the only things you’ll be cooking, popcorn, hot dogs, toast, and depending on your level of roughing it you’ll be cooking on the fire a lot , have water nearby for safety and use a fire ring to contain the flames
• Let the kids help, packing things like trail mix, raisins and peanuts, rolling sleeping bags, and so many other things the kids can help with when it comes to camping
• Pick up some books on wildlife, bird or plant identifiers for the kids to find things while on their trip. You’ll be pleasantly surprised when they start looking for the things they just read about.
• Bring a disposable camera for each family member to take pictures of their favorite things on the camping trip (kids too!) then when you get home develop the film and make a camping trip scrapbook or photo album.

Children never forget these camping trips.
