Camping under the stars

Camping under the stars, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, telling stories, and walking paths to find nature’s treasure. Camp with family and friends and create a lifetime of memories and skills. Kids of all ages will enjoy pitching a tent, gathering kindling for a campfire, and exploring nature. In addition, it’s a great time to make new friends in the campground when you invite them to play outdoor games.

Create wonderful memories

I think some of my best memories are camping with my kids and grandkids. Camping in a tent, cabin, or camper doesn’t really matter. It’s getting out in nature and spending time with those you love and teaching them the skills they need to do this with their kids and grandkids someday. Gathering sticks for kindling and learning how to build the perfect, safe fire. If you have a little patience with kids, they can learn almost anything given the opportunity. How to cast a fishing pole, throw a frisbee, cook breakfast for the family, and more.

There are so many things for kids and families to do when camping

I love cooking while camping. Breakfast tastes so much better made early in the morning, either on the grill or over a fire. If your kids like hamburgers, carrots, and potatoes, foil packet dinners are fun to make and easy to cook. Take a large piece of foil, enough to hold all of the fixin’s and form a pocket. Have your kids patty the hamburgers and then carefully chop carrots, potatoes and onions. Place the hamburger in the middle of the foil, top with veggies and potatoes, and a little salt and pepper. Bring the sides of the foil together and fold over. Then fold the bottom up, so you form a packet. Seal the packet enough to hold a little water and so juices don’t leak out. Finish folding the top down to seal the packet and place it on the grill. Cook for 20 minutes, flip and cook another 20 minutes. Open the packets, add condiments if you want, or dump everything on a plate. It’s easy, fun, and tasty.

Nighttime is a special time camping under the stars

When the sun goes down and the kids start to settle in for the night, it’s a great time to have lasting conversations and continue the fun. Who doesn’t love sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows for yummy s’mores, staring up at the night sky? People for centuries have watched the stars, spied shooting stars, and thought about how vast this universe really is. Help kids learn how to spot the North Star, and you’ll always know which direction is north, and you won’t be lost.
