kids play camping tent image
*Justme*
My Son and I are going on our 1st camping trip. Other than a tent, food what other things should I take on a campping trip. There will be other kids at the camp site. Does anyone know of any games that we can play?
Answer
Well yes of course you will need essentials, camping stove, lantern, flashlights, sleeping bags, bug spray, sun block, cooler, tent, maybe an air mattress, comfy out doors clothes, good sturdy comfy shoes, plates, forks, cups, jugs of water.
For games? You can find a horse shoes set at a local store and bring it along. If there will be a swimming site bring some swimming gear (life jacket, swim suite etc etc), if there is a beach maybe you can set up a volley ball area. Is there a basketball area there?? You might be able to bring a basketball. Bring a ball and glove, atleast you could play catch. Bring a set of walkie talkies, those could be useful and fun, and they are fairly unexpensive. Have a familiy dog? See if it's ok to bring it along, and bring a frisbee and other pet toys.
Usually when you go camping there is a lake not too far away (of course good for swimming) but also good for fishing, so bring along fishing poles just incase (but make sure you have a fishing license). If there is a lake you might be able to rent a paddle boat and take it out on the lake for a spin.

How to decorate for a backyard summer camp party?
Q. My 3 year old daughter is having a camp theme party and want to decorate so you really feel like you are camping
Answer
Make a large wooden sign at the entrance to the "Camp Site" and have other signs pointing the way to the toilets and showers, picnic area and wildlife trail.
Set the tents around a central seating area with the campfire as a centerpiece. Lay out low benches for sitting on or just use mats or planks of wood balanced on rocks.
Decorate the inside of the tents with streamers and balloons
Around the edges of the camp, erect some citronella torches. These will keep the bugs away and add to the camp atmosphere.
Place cuddly toys in the tress and bushes for the younger kids to discover or for the older kids, hang plastic bugs around the camp. Use glow in the dark bugs and stars which will be fun later on when it gets dark.
Hang multi colored Chinese lanterns around the garden. Some kids just can't help playing with candles so be careful where you place them.
Set up a food table and cover with green or camouflage cloth. Use plastic tableware or tin plates and cups. Provide bug stickers for each child to personalize his/her own plate and mug. It saves muddling them up.
You can also add:
Bug stickers and tattoes
T-shirts with the name of the camp and date of the birthday camping party
