With the economy still sluggish many families are hesitant to spend their extra money on a vacation. A frugal alternative to the traditional vacation is camping!
Camping with the kids is a fun and frugal vacation but it can be intimidating to deal with kids, campfires, bugs, sleeping in the same tent, and feeding everyone!
This Tuesday (8/30) I’m teaming up with Dan from Dad Does to host a live chat on camping with kids! We’ll be covering topics such as:
- How to get the kids to sleep while camping
- Tips for getting the kids to unplug…and be happy about it
- How to make reluctant kid campers happy campers
- Kid friendly camping gadgets
- Keeping kids safe at the campground
- Cool camping experiences any kid would love
So bring your questions and your advice and join us on Tuesday, August 30 at 8:30 pm EST for a live chat in the KOA Around the Campfire Community.
I am real interested in the getting the kids to unplug during camping. Welcome all suggestions. We set up the tent this weekend to make sure it didnt have holes in it , all the zippers worked etc Set up a craft area too. When she wasn’t complaining about not being able to find her dsi (I wonder where that went) she did have fun painting and roasting marshmallows. I see being prepared and have all the stuff I will need being a key.
Hi,
I would come to the live chat, but that Dan guy from DadDoes.Com sounds like trouble. He is dead weight, you should really drop him… Oh wait, that’s me!
Seriously, looking forward to it. I will do my best not to break the Live Chat technology. See you all there.
Too funny!
Hope to get on tonight.We’ve enjoyed tent camping since 1974.
