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.

Slip N’ Slide
This is perfect for summer camping trips. It’s hot enough already so why not cool down with some water games?
Camping Decor
Plates
These plates are not just cute, they are functional too. Go all out with your next camping adventure.
Kid Favors
What? Who said camping couldn’t be fun!? These party favor boxes might be a nice little treat for your camping kiddos.
DIY Insect Repellent
Sage
Adding sage to your campfire or fire pit keeps mosquitoes and bugs away.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has been said to fight off ticks and other bugs. To make a home remedy tick repellent, simply mix about two ounces or so of tea tree oil with water. Put the mixture into a spray bottle and spray on yourself and your family.
