We let our kids have their own little backpack of items, such as their sleeping bag, canteen, and a few little camping necessities. We always camp in tents and the kids really enjoy having their own camping belongings. The whistle is a great idea; even adults should have one.

We have the same policy. Same thing when my son spends an overnight with the boy scouts. Too much to do outdoors to have a video game distraction :) Hey JR. We have the same policy.

My 3 boys may start out with video game with drawl- we take no electronics along except a cell phone- but they seem to get drawn into the critters, some feature of the landscape like your forts or a stream or may apple tossing in Pennsylvania. As long as it doesn't pour. In that case we have some sort of plan B. We toured Hopewell Furnace the last rainy trip and it was educational and we all had a good time exploring that. There's something so wholesome about kids playing outside! There’s so much there to capture their imagination.

Camping is a great experience for kids. I suspect when the weather warms up again for camping you are going to find yourself outdoors eating S'mores and fishing as often as possible :).

Maybe I'll let them read this post and see if it gets them interested. Camping is one thing I’ve just never been able to convince my kids to try.

She had me busy all day hiking, fishing, campfires and S'mores. Seeing the look on her face when she caught her first fish. She also liked the campfire which made me nervous. Can't wait until we have a chance to go again. I finally got my daughter to go camping and now she just loves it!
