Invite kids to choose a few personal extras, like a favorite camp mug, a book or a game to share. Let them help check those items off the family packing list, too—it’s a simple way to make planning part of the fun.
Consider a deck of cards, a nature journal or a few favorite books. Ask each family member to suggest something everyone can enjoy together, leaving room in your plans for conversation and time outdoors.
