Children

Family camping trips provide lifetime memories.  A fun vacation also teaches responsibility and an appreciation of the natural world.

When camping with children:

• Feed children small portions rather than large meals during the day to provide energy for hiking and swimming without stomachaches.
•  Dressing your child in bright colored clothing makes them more noticeable.
• Long pants and long sleeves will help prevent exposure to poisonous plants and insect bites.
