What are some fun camping activities for small children?

Answer 1

We always take the kids some where that they can fish.They love it.We also pack a couple of games (cards,boardgame) to play in the evening before bed.And the all time favorite smores,you will have to help of course but they LOVE  to make them.If their is a natural trail then you can do a scavenger hunt,who ever finds more of the things on the list gets a treat.If they are young enough then they will enjoy looking for wildlife(squirell,turtles,lizards ect.) the older kids have grown out of this one.Anyways, I hope you have a great trip!

Answer 3

Fishing,for sure. If They are ages 4-9ish get them a small kids fishing poll and take them to the pond or lake were you arecamping and teach them how to fish. If you can fish along with them. This will encourage them and make them more intrusted in fishing. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I have a nearly four-year-old boy who loves to go camping/fishing/swimming/hunting.  We always camp near a lake or pond where fishing and swimming is available.  Have a weenie roast and make s'mores.  He loves it.  If it's really hot out, take innertubes, life jackets, arm floaties, and take a dip.  If they're not too young, tell ghost stories at night.  Make sure you take a flashlight with good batteries and have a little exploration mission in the dark.  Look for cool rocks, raccoons, deer, any kind of animals.  Some lakes and ponds have really small red sand crabs under the rocks in shallow parts of the water.  See if you can catch some.  They don't pinch much.  I hope you all have a lot of fun!
