Camping Games

Playing camping games together is one of my favorite things to do on a family camping trip.

When we are on vacation, we have the time to have fun together! Playing games lets us reconnect as a family. We can learn new skills, enjoy some friendly competition, and be silly together.

You might be tempted to pack the iPad, just in case the kids get bored. Don't do it!

Spending time away from the phone, the TV and the computer is the perfect opportunity for everyone to remember how to play!

There are so many great camping games that you really don't have to resort to using electronics.

All you need for these games is an open space, a group of people, and a willingness to have fun.

Would you believe that I always hope for at least one rainy day on a camping trip? It's true! I love sitting in the trailer, or under a tarp, drinking hot chocolate and playing board games!
