Create your own fun camping adventures with kids and include lots of chores and fun games along the way. They’ll ask to go again and again.
Camp safety maps make kids feel responsible and teaches them a lot. When they feel included in the adventure and have choices then the excitement just keeps building.
It takes a lot longer to get outdoors and setup but it’s so worth them learning survival skills in toddlerhood.
All of my resources are already throughout my blog but a the Kids Who Explore library will be a space for families to feel supported to get outside. It is such an honour to bring these resources to light because I was always told to just wait until they’re older and to stay home.
I’ve had many comments saying that backpacking means hiking many kilometer’s to camp and yes we’ve done a lot of those gruelling trips. Like a lot. When this pregnant and kids in that vulnerable window of not liking certain activities, this is our balance.
It’s not about how far you hike and it never has been. It’s about connecting to nature, learning, and growing together outside.
You make camping whatever you want it to be!
We cannot contain the excitement for baby!
Gone are the days of choosing their backpacking clothing and here are the ones where they pick what they like. At least they are outside with me.
I still have flickers of anxiety after losing our baby last year and I don’t think the grief has changed much for me. Everything fell apart and I’m still gathering the pieces and wondering where they fit.
I’ll forever want to return to this moment.
Bumping and discomfort at this stage 😅 but I love it.
They got all the scented items ✔️
Like a routine now.
2 grizzly and 1 black bear.
Keeping camp clean is the only way to camp in bear territory.
This was cinnamon oatmeal and it tastes so much better outdoors.
Then there’s the youngest that’s been using the camp stove since he was one.
Growth is beautiful but emotional as heck. 🥹
So more outdoor dishes are in our future obviously 😂
