February 20, 2023
Camping is one of the most rewarding activities you can do with your kids. It’s an opportunity to spend quality time with them as they learn new things while being in nature! However, it can be messy and tedious if not planned properly. It’s always good to have a plan B when travelling with kids.
For a hassle-free adventure, it is crucial to plan in advance, discuss expectations and learn to be flexible. Check out the following tips and tricks before you plan your next family trip in the great Australian outdoors
Plan Ahead
Start with exploring kid-friendly campsites and book the spot you like the most in advance. The next step is to make a list of supplies you’ll need for the trip and get them beforehand. Don’t forget to carry batteries, toilet tissues, water bottles and campfire essentials. If you’re after durable tents and comfortable kids sleeping bags, check out Explore Planet Earth. We have all sorts of camping essentials to make your camping trip more enjoyable and memorable.
To get your kids into a reading habit, carry books for yourself and your kids to read before bedtime.
Teach Your Kids Some Important Life Skills
Want to teach your kids how to build fires safely? Your upcoming family camping trip is your opportunity to do that. Not only can you teach your kids everything about lighting a campfire, but also teach them how to safely navigate the campsite, make their bed, cook their own meal and much more. Camping is a great opportunity for your kids to learn qualities like self-sufficiency, gratitude, simplicity and flexibility.
You can involve your kids in cooking as well! Enjoy grilling their favourite meals using Gasmate’s portable BBQ or portable stove.
Prepare them for challenges
Challenges along the way are a part of what makes camping fun! However, it’s still best to be prepared and anticipate how your child may respond to some unusual and uncomfortable situations. Discuss those scenarios with them and advise them on how to best deal with those unpleasant situations. Encourage them to embrace both the fun and challenging part of being out in nature.
