'9J BB minnows, hike on trails that run A campinghiking trip may be just the thing parents need for a relaxing summer vacation. Kids, on the other hand, may be less enthusiastic, especially if they can more easily relate to adventure on a computer or TV screen than adventure with nature. So, what is there to do in the middle of the woods? The people at Eureka! Tents and Camp Trails packs offers some suggestions to parents who want their kids to enjoy outdoor activities, and have fun as a whole fam- Y1Y Camp near waterways. Almost every kid loves the water - to swim in, fish in, splash, wade and crawl. They can release their creative energy in sand castles, and mud pies, marvel at a wiggling fish at the end of a fishing line, catch crayfish, frogs and along shorelines, stopping to examine areas of interest. Head to an area with a lake", pond, or stream and youre almost guaranteed an enjoyable, active day. Always be sure children are supervised when around water, and wear a personal flotation device when fishing or canoeing. Lighten up and slow down. When planning a days hike, remember children cannot carry much weight, especially if theyre not used to the activity. Be careful not to load children down with too much to carry, even if they say the can handle it. A mile or two down the trail, theyll be tired and will equate hiking with work.

Children expend as much, or more, energy than adults do while hiking, so bring along plenty of treats and water for the trail. Map out an easy route, plan a treasure hunt or game along the way, and end with a fun cookout. Let them prepare their own snacks. Healthy snacks will provide more enduring energy on a hiking trip, instead of the highs and lows often generated by high calorie sugary snacks. A good way to generate enthusiasm for healthy snacks is to let the kids prepare their own. If you have a food dehydrator at home, this is the perfect opportunity to make your own trail snacks and dehydrated foods. Pick out a variety of fresh fruits to make dried fruit snacks. Let them mix up the gorp with their choice of nuts, pretzels, candies and breakfast. Give them breathing room. If every minute of the day is planned for them, your children will start to feel restless, particularly if theyre older and are starting to be more independent. As long as you know where they are, give them some slack to spend time however they want. Those children who prefer solitude and thought-provokin- g quiet will need nothing more than good scenery to gaze upon. For smaller children, its a good idea to set some boundaries so they dont wander away or get lost. You cant cross the stream or pass this tree (tie a bandana around it) without telling someone first" Open their eyes to different worlds. Kids will naturally Find enough to do in the outdoors. Point out the various trees, plants, birds and animals that occupy the area, or relate any historical information that can give them a new perspective on life. A set of binoculars can engage their interest for hours and allow them to study things on their own. At the days end, a campfire is the perfect setting for nature lore and storytelling. Staigazing, in particular, can generate lively conversations. Tell stories of the early voyagers who travelled by the stars. Explain the first landing on the moon, and the knowledge obtained from studying the planets. Locate the constellations, the Big Dipper, meteorites and even satellites. Explain the Milky Way and other galaxies, novas, black holes, and steroids, and let their imaginations roam. Nature certainly has plenty to offer young minds. By giving kids a positive experience with the outdoors, the next campinghiking summer vacation will likely generate an enthusiastic roar of approval. |
