Camping is a favorite vacation activity for many families. Without access to television and computers, camping provides a great environment for families to spend some quality time together.
Perhaps this is your first time on a camping excursion or you haven’t been out for a while. If so, you’ll want to prepare for your next trip to get the most enjoyment out of your weekend getaway.
Where will you sleep? If using a tent, make sure you have everything you’ll need for assembly. This includes tent stakes, a hammer and a broom for keeping the tent free of debris. Consider a tarp for added protection during the rainy season.
Next, gather your sleeping bags, pillows and/or air mattresses. If taking an air mattress, make sure you have an air pump as well.
What will you eat? Start by packing cooking equipment and utensils such as a camping stove, pots, pans, spatulas, tongs, can openers and oven mitts.
You’ll also need dishes to eat on. For convenience, it makes sense to pack paper plates, cups and plastic silverware. Remember to include trash bags, dish towels and dish washing liquid for clean-up.
For survival, don’t forget to pack essentials such as a first aid kit, matches, lamps and bug zappers.
Buy and pack food that you will prepare on your camping trip. Don’t forget snacks and food favorites. More importantly, be sure to bring lots of water. Store everything in a cooler with ice to protect against spoilage.
Finally, pack clothing and personal items like deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes. If you plan to go swimming be sure to pack swimwear and a beach towel.
Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare for your trip! Begin about a week prior to ensure you have everything you need to avoid stressing out about the process.
