Camping with children can be one of the greatest experiences you can have if you plan the trip right. This can be a great way to introduce your children to the wonders of nature. It is very exciting to look at things through your child's eyes.

If you start your children camping at a young age, they are more likely to have a lifetime of camping adventures. Camping with children as young as infants can be surprisingly easy. Babies are adaptable and sleep more than toddlers.

The most challenging age for camping with kids is the toddler age. Try to keep the toddler in a backpack or stroller. This will help to keep him safe and out of mischief. Try to have activities planned to keep them busy.

Pre-school age is a great time to introduce your child to the great outdoors. At this age, they are able to understand and enjoy the camping and hiking a lot more. After this age, children are more able to keep themselves busy and be helpful with camping chores. Any age is great to get them involved. You will probably have more luck and less stress if you don't start them when they are toddlers.

Starting out camping is an excellent learning opportunity for children of all ages. Outdoor activities benefit children and adults mentally and physically. Exercise is invigorating. Exposure to the outdoors can be a stress relief and lots of fun. It is important to leave extra time for every activity. Enjoy the time and don't rush around. This will only cause stress and upset everyone.

Hiking is the easiest outdoor activity and doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment. You can pick up pocket-sized guides to help identify plants and insects. You may also consider fishing, canoeing, and bike riding. These are activities that most children really enjoy.

I'm a firm believer that a child is never too young to learn good manners. And that applies to the great outdoors. For all activities, the rule to remembers is, "Take only pictures. Leave only footprints." This means that you should leave your camping and hiking areas just as clean or cleaner than when you found it. Allow the next person to enjoy the same beauty as you did. Teach your children to be observers, not intruders. This is a good lesson-respect for the environment carries over to self-respect and respect for others.

Some additional tips to keep your little ones safe and allow for an enjoyable adventure include:
-Teach young children to stay within eyesight, and older children to stay within earshot.
-Instruct your child to stay where they are if they get lost. Give them a whistle to carry around their necks to blow if they are lost. Three blows is the standard distress signal.
-Pack a full day's clothing for each child in a plastic bag. That way your child can pull out a bag of clean clothes in the morning and pack the dirty clothes back in the bag at the end of the day. This will help keep things simple and organized.
-Plan to dress in layers. Add if you are cold, take off if you are hot.
-Make sure each child has his own flashlight. Children love to play with flashlights.
-Bring a game that you love to play at home. It will be even more fun to play it by the light of the campfire, flashlight or lantern.
-It is more fun for a child to camp with other children. Ask along a friend.
