[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Camping with kids can be a lot of fun and is even better with the right gear.

1) Get a tent that is big enough to put in two nice air mattresses. You can use thicker air mattresses like the ones you use at home, just make sure you can inflate them at the camp out, like it can take a battery operated air pack.

2) Your child can help you set up. They should help you set up. Practice setting up the tent in the back yard so that they can help when you get to the camp site.

3) Bring your pillows from home and make yourself comfortable.

4) Buy one big tub/container. That is what your camping gear goes in, except for the tent. Only bring what fits in the container. You should be able to carry everything in one trip.

[b]The best part, if your child continues on with Scouts, especially Boy Scouts, you don’t have to go camping when they bridge over to a Troop in 5th grade. You are not allowed to share a tent with your child in a Troop. And you don’t have to be at those camp outs,[/b] just find another way to volunteer to help the Troop if you don’t want to help with the camping. [/quote]

Is that for real? After 5th grade, parents are not allowed to go camping with boy scouts or share a tent with your own child?[/quote]
