Family Summer Camping 101

Have you just started camping with family or a group of friends? Mountain Equipment Co-op offers excellent Hiking/Camping information on their website.

For example, here are tips from the Hiking with Kids section:

-"Set your group's goals based on the youngest child's ability".
-"When hiking or walking with a group of children, assign a leader and let them take turns leading the charge."
-"Play games that encourage them to observe what's around them. Old standbys like "I Spy" and "20 Questions" soak up loads of time on the trail. Try bird watching, looking for animal tracks, or counting rocks, birds, or flowers as you hike."

For more hiking/camping tips, check out the MEC website.
