Games and Other Fun

Be sure to bring along some games from home for evening play after dinner. Bring some of your child's favorite games, or learn some new ones for the trip. Dice games like Yahtzee seem more enjoyable outdoors, and if you play by lantern or fire light, it's even more fun somehow. Bring some toys too, like balls and bats, for quick games in the afternoon. This might be the perfect time to teach the kids a new game, such as backgammon or cribbage. They won't be distracted by the television and computer, and they'll have time to practice their new skills every day at the campground. If your campground doesn't offer camping activities for kids, games and toys are a great alternative to boredom and inactivity!
