Camping is a fantastic way to explore the natural environment and seek exercise. Although there are plenty of times when quiet, sheltered play is needed. Sometimes it may be raining, too hot or you may have another child sleeping or sick that requires you to be close by. I like to link these activities with other things we have done that week or expand on the child’s interests. This enables you to continue discussions and increase their vocab skills.
