Fun Summer Camping Ideas


Summertime means fun, it means family, it also means spending as much time as you can outdoors. Our family loves to explore nature. I notice it puts us all in a better mood too.

I’ve seen so many updates recently about families going camping so I thought I would touch base on my must-haves and ideas for your next outdoor adventure! Today I will be discussing snacks, games, decor and even a few bug-repellent tips.
