For many people camping is not only an enjoyable way to get out into nature but also a great opportunity to learn new skills and build confidence. In fact it is a very social activity which can bring friends and family closer together. The key to a successful camping trip is preparing adequately, knowing your limits and understanding that most things don’t go quite as planned – but in the end it can be an amazing experience.
First time campers can benefit from a camping essentials checklist to help reduce the amount of equipment needed and avoid packing items that will be unnecessary. Also a map and a first-aid kit are essential items for any camping trip. Lastly a headlamp and a utility knife are helpful for navigating campsites in the dark or to perform simple tasks such as unzipping tents. Sleeping arrangements are important to consider. For beginners, sleeping bags or sleeping mats are best to allow for a better night’s sleep. Some beginners may find that eye masks or white noise machines are helpful for getting to sleep in unfamiliar settings.
Camping is a great chance to teach kids new outdoor skills such as pitching a tent, cooking over an open fire and survival skills like finding water, purifying it and surviving the elements. It is also an opportunity for children to explore the natural world and learn about animal habitats, regrowth on trees and the impact of earthworms in aerating the soil.
