Looking for a budget-friendly family gathering?As a way to get together with family, the old-fashioned camping trip is tough to beat: it's easy on the wallet, simple to pull off, and gives busy families a chance to unplug and be together in a natural setting. Whether it's just a weekend away with the grandparents or a full-clan reunion, a campout also lets kids be kids, and adults, well, they can relax knowing that woodland critters aren't likely to complain if the cousins get a little rambunctious.
Here we offer planning strategies, creative campsite activities and crafts (Family Faces Totem Pole, Nature Mobile), and delightfully wild outdoor games (Who Am I?, "Did You Know?" Box, Three-Way Tag and Hide a Bee) that can turn any camping trip into an adventure.
