Need a Fun, Low-cost Idea for a Family Trip? Go Camping!
Camping is not as popular as it used to be but is once more gaining in popularity because of the higher cost of fuel making it difficult to plan affordable vacations. If you have never been camping it is wise to take someone with you that has some experience or stay close to home for your first camping excursion. If this is the first time you’ve thought of it you should know that it is a great way to bond with your family.
Camping Equipment
Make sure to pack everything you need! Make a list and check off each item as you get it into the vehicle. The most important things to remember are waterproof tents, sleeping bags, clothes, first aid kit, flashlights, fire starting tools, food and water. Your tent(s) should be big enough to fit one extra person besides those actually planning to sleep in them. This gives everyone elbow room and prevents irritation caused by cramped spaces. Make sure you have extra batteries for flashlights and 2-way radios. Do not count on your cell phones for emergencies! If you will be cooking, be sure to bring a grate for placing over the fire or a kerosene stove with pans and utensils.
Camping: The Perfect Bonding Vacation
If you are going camping, it is wise to leave all video games, music players and texting/phone devices at home or disallow the use of texting with the exception of emergencies. Camping is meant to connect you with nature and allow real communication between family members. Cell phones, texting technology and video games are hindrances to communication. That may sound funny, but it is true. Instead, encourage open dialogue between campers. Pretend your family is the only thing that exists. If you have teens who have never been camping, the first trip may be hard for them. Show some patience but don’t give in when they complain about not having their cell phones, music and games. It is important for everyone to know how to interact without technology. Have you ever tried to bond with someone who is always texting? It is impossible - even if you text them, too! Sitting around the campfire and chatting can be enjoyable and revealing.
If you are looking for an inexpensive vacation that gives you the chance to bond with your family, camping is the perfect choice!
