Fun stuff camping with little kids?

Don't volunteer to babysit for free that's what they are probably thinking in bringing you along, Make that absolutely clear from the get go and no one will be embarrassed when you say no or say at $25 an hour.

Now little kids can be fun for about 15 minutes at a time, that's their attention span limit. Look up kids and camping for some suggestions here is one link,

I was a volunteer CIT (counselor in training) at the Boys and Girls Club one year. I worked in the gym with kids ages 7-9. I taught jump rope, hula hoop, and other fun games--my kids were mostly girls, and were very sweet. I had a good time, but eventually I had to get back to school. It was a fun experience, not very challenging but challenging enough!!!!

Kay~ I take my nieces and nephews ~ and grand-nieces and grand-nephews ~ on hiking trips, playgrounds, kicking balls, white-water rafting, canoeing, wildlife-viewing, studying wildflowers. With most four-year-olds, a primary goal is burning-off their excess energy with a mile or two of hiking. Small children generally lack fine motor and cooperative-play skills. Singing campfire songs is a great activity, while you wait for the coals to form at the campfire to cook marshmallows. Visiting gentle, patient dogs such as golden retrievers or deer, rabbits, turtles, and goats in a petting zoo is a good idea. Feeding bears and cougars is not a good idea. Small water slides and swings work with careful supervision. Sand castle construction is another good activity. Simple card and dice games keep them occupied on a rainy day. Teach them names of plants and animals. Collect rocks, sea shells, leaves, plaster casts of footprints, and bark samples. Gather tinder to make a campfire.
