Things You'll Need:
- Sturdy boxes
- Fishing poles
- Bikes
- Skates
- Crafts
- Patience
- Journals or notebooks
-
Step 1
Buy a notebook for each child and have them keep a camping journal. Not only will this help him in reading and writing skills, but it is also thrilling when he is older and finds that journal.
-
Step 2
Food is always entertaining. Show her how to cook while camping, both the necessary meals and the fun stuff too. Roasting marshmallows, making s’mores and other treats is educational and fun.
-
Step 3
Depending on age, roller blades or skates are good, enjoyable exercise. Most campgrounds have decent roads in front of the camping areas, so you will be able to keep an eye on her while she is skating.
-
Step 4
Biking is also good exercise and a way for him to travel around the campground. Be sure to set limits on how far he can go, and have him check in often.
-
Step 5
Fishing is fun, educational and time you can spend talking with her. It is something you can do as a family or alone.
-
Step 6
Nurture his creative side by spending a bit of money and taking along a bag of craft supplies. Give him the leeway to make anything he’d like, such as painting rocks, using an array of buttons for pictures, or popsicle sticks and glue to build a small cabin. The ideas and possibilities are endless with a bag of craft items at hand.
-
Step 7
Find a sturdy box for each child. These will come in handy when she finds treasures she can’t leave behind. Expect to find anything in the box; pine cones, rocks, leaves, flowers and even bugs. Again, these treasures can be educational, and remember they may be an inconvenience for you, but they are priceless to her.
