Family Fun

Why on earth would any parent go camping with their kids? Between the packing, the hauling and the dirt, it’s enough to send you running to the Holiday Inn. But it’s these very same rustic realities that make a weekend or even a week in the woods the perfect glue for a great family bonding experience.

Make time each day for at LEAST one pre planned (by the child is most beneficial) activity for the day, that gives them something to look forward to. (You can make up a calendar and let the child help fill in that special something each day that you will DO WITH THEM)

Cooking while camping

When cooking on a grill over an open fire, support the grill on 4 big cans of water. As the food cooks, you will also be making hot water for coffee and dishwashing.

It is so easy for parents to get caught up in all of the busyness and "to do's" of the holiday season, that sometimes we forget to just stop and take a moment to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year!

Here are 25 easy activities for your family to enjoy together this month to bring merriment and cheer. You can simply choose from the list each day, or for some extra fun, put all of the activities in a decorated container, and allow the children to draw one or two out each morning after breakfast. Then you can decide how best to fit them into the day.
