The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids: How to Plan Memorable Family Adventures and Connect Kids to Nature by Helen Olsson

4.0

I grew up camping with my family and have the best memories of summer days exploring the campground and outdoors and nights around the fire. I’ve been wanting to introduce my own kids to this magical experience but felt daunted by all the details and supplies and variables. This book is a great help for all that! She breaks down each component of the camping experience from prep work to meals to hiking to first aid, and so much more, into reflections and manageable lists of steps or supplies. It’s nothing that I hadn’t heard or done before, but having all of the tips and tools in one place makes this a great resource for a busy family who wants to try something new. I’m so looking forward to getting out with my kiddos!
