Every child should have wonderful experiences in their childhood to treasure as memories when they reach adulthood. Holidays, family get-together experiences, and other events spent as a family that tightens the bond and love within.
One of the most extraordinary things a family can do together is to go camping, especially for the child that lives within a city or complex suburb. We are very fortunate in this country to have a multitude of amazing state parks, federal reserves and other open area campgrounds to indulge our children in the joys of camping.
For a family camping trip, just organizing it begins the fun. Choosing the right equipment can bean adventure in itself especially if the whole family participates by going to a sporting store or other store outlet that carries all of the necessities to set up the camping.
Picking out a good tent, large enough to accommodate the correct number of family members, selecting the cooking equipment, as well as all the other gear needed to make the camping trip something special to experience and remember.
Next would be picking the right location for the family camping trip. It is usually desirable to select a place not too far from home as this will cut down travel time and allow the family to spend more time together enjoying themselves.
The road trip can be fun as well but children do get restless so the less time spent traveling and more time having fun is the best choice. In the selection of a campsite, the adults should consider how many different activities can be offered. A beautiful park with a large lake is a fine choice as everyone can enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing. Nature trails are an absolute must so the enlightening experience of hiking and observing Nature are part of the fun.
Food is always an important part of any fun trip but the different varieties of foods that can be prepared over an open fire or portable grill is as much pleasure to prepare as it is to eat.
Fresh fish caught for the family meal brings with it a special flavor of accomplishment for the fishers that caught the meal. Drinking water from coolers filled with ice or other drinks seems just to taste better. A combination of eggs, meat, cheese and vegetables cooked in an iron skillet over an open fire tastes like no other omelet.
There are so many things to consider about the joys of a family camping trip and the happiness the family shares together.
