There are many things that we can do to make camping with children an enjoyable experience. Some easy ways to keep kids happy at a camp site include feeding them meals they’re used to such as grilled cheese’ and hot dogs. Smores are also a great dessert to make over an open fire that kids will enjoy. Make sure you pack clothes for all different types of weather for your children so that they are comfortable. Finally, don’t allow your kids to bring any electronics. Camping should be a bonding experience between the entire family.
Key Takeaways:
- Stick to easy-to-make food such as hot dogs, canned soups, and grilled cheese, and bring lots of granola bars and trail mix.
- Before going camping, set up your tent in your backyard to make sure everyone fits comfortably.
- Leave tablets and smartphones behind, but bring card games or board games to play.
“When it comes to your accommodations, staying in a cabin or yurt, or even in the back of your car, can ease you into tent camping in the future while making the experience less of an adjustment for little ones. Choose the option that makes the most sense for your family.”
