Sleeping under the stars with your loved ones is an unforgettable experience and one that should never be missed. Backyard camping with your kids can not only be fun but can also help bring you close to your kids. Whether you are new to camping or are a pro at it, camping in the backyard is a blast, more so because you don’t need any special gear and accessories, no specific planning and packing is required as everything is available nearby. The best part is the access to a clean bathroom nearby. With a few hints and tips you can create an outdoor adventure that your kids would love to experience.
Setting up a Tent– Think of your backyard as a campsite, find a clean, flat surface where you can pitch your tent and get started. Call everyone to help put things together as this is a part of the adventure. Make it cosy inside the tent by lining up rugs yoga mats or anything else that is easily available at home. You can also use an inflatable mattress for some extra comfort.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a tent. Tie a clothesline between two trees and throw a blanket or a large tarp over it to make a makeshift tent. Make sure you have a dry place to sit by laying a waterproof tarp inside. You can always throw in some cushions and blankets to make yourselves comfortable.
Cook some Tasty Treats – Any camping adventure is incomplete without eating around the fire. Roast marshmallows, hot dogs and veggies on the fire pit and enjoy eating them with your family. Of course, you can pack a few sandwiches and other goodies if you don’t want to cook.
Games and activities– Plan some fun-filled games and activities such as nature hunts, throwback fun, and campfire stories among others. Play music and dance the night away for an unforgettable experience.
Final Thoughts– Backyard camping can be fun at any age, so go ahead and plan something different for your kids this time.
