Camping with 6 kids for a week. How do I make it successful and organized?

Question

We are leaving in a week for 8 days and 7 nights on the beach. It is me and my hubby with 6 kids ranging from 17-3 yo. All are boys but 1 girl.

We have 2 tents that sleep 6 each. do we need more? I am bringing board games cards any more ideas to keep from boardom?

But I think the biggest is FOOD??? what do I bring and how much? what are some easy cooking ideas and favs?

Is there anything that you use to take camping that is a must have?

Any tips?

I want this to be fun and stress free!!

Thank You!!

Answer 2

I don't know about the girl sleeping with the boys but I guess its not a problem

Board games sound cool but i would also suggest a radio and maybe some water guns. For the little kids brings some toys for playing in the sand.

Hot dogs are good when cooking them over a fire. You can buy the package of 48. Hamburgers, cereal bars, cereal. Can foods like ravioli. For snacks, Marshmellows,crackers and chocolate for smoores.

Bring Lots baby wipes and hand sanitizer a must! Don't forget the flashlight
