Perfect book for kids to learn more while camping

Perfect book for kids to learn more while camping

Kids Camp

I love this book and so do the kids. The pages are full of outdoor summer fun. I bought this book for ideas to have Saturday craft day at the State Park where I am employed. You can even make an outdoor solar oven! If your kids get bored over the summer this is the cure.

Worth your money

Packed with clever ideas, it's a great tool for the car camper or the parent who's attacking the disease of "nature deficit disorder" among kids. It's a fun book with many easy-to-accomplish activities for kids, cub scout/girl scout groups, day camps, or just your own little nature-lovers.

A Good and pretty book

I bought this book so I could plan "Kid Camp" one day a week with my two grandchildren. It offered good ideas and has good pictures. I'm glad I bought it.

Teacher/Mother

This is a wonderful book that can keep children occupied for hours on end. It provides many activities that children can do alone or with their parents. Most of the materials required can be found in the home or outside. The children will learn valuable survival information from many of the activities. The projects are worth the effort; they don't result in a choppy hodge-podge of junk. The illustrations are very helpful. Overall, this book is great for teachers, parents, and children.

Innovative Fun!

Kids Camp offers innovative ideas to help kids of all ages keep busy during camp outings, even on raining days. Laurie Carlson offers 100+ original ideas, including instructions on concocting "wilderness punch" and writing with berry ink, guaranteed to entertain young campers. Whether you are organizing a scout campout, or camping in your own backyard, Kids Camp offers original and creative ideas, accompanied by great illustrations, to entertain and educate children and adults!
