Plan with your kids this supposed activity. Assign them some tasks like filling up the steel coolers with foods, preparing the tent, the camping chair among others. Plan what you are going to eat and games you could play. You can even have stargazing at night. Your kids will surely be participative of this new activity and you will realize how creative they could be. They can also add up some ideas regarding this activity. This way, you are making them a part of the preparation giving them more responsibility.

On the night of your camping, don't just think that your house is just nearby. Pretend as if your house do not exist. Do the activity as if you are actually in a barren land. Bring the camping coolers outside near your tent and fill it with foods and drinks. You have to get your supplies from this cooler. Turn off your house lights so that the only light that you will have are flash lights or lamps that you brought with you. This way you can better appreciate the sky and the stars. And you can feel that you were in a different place

Share stories with your kids while lying on your tent. Share your camping experience. Listen also as to what they say. You can pick up a lot of their thoughts while talking to them. This way, you are not only bonding with your kids, you are also knowing what kid they are. This is actually a good opportunity for you to take a pause and rest from all your works at home. Get a soda from the stainless steel outdoor cooler and appreciate the nature.
