Campfire Activities

Story time is essential to all camping trips. Read your kids’ favorite books, or maybe even tell of few stories of your own. Kids love to hear stories about their parents when they were kids.

Pull out Monopoly, Scrabble, or another board game your family loves. Make sure to play inside your tent!

The great thing about indoor camping is that you can cheat a little. Pop in a movie, or maybe even have a family competition with your Wii, Rock Band, or another video game.
