I would also check with your local YMCA they have a ton of overnight camps all over the US and run a great program. They also offer scholarships and grants to help people send their kids to camp. They also offer that multi kid discount
http://www.ywca.org/site/pp.asp?c=djISI6PIKpG&b=297642

I think it is great that you want to send your kids to camp! Some of my best memories are from my time at camp. I loved going every summer. Remember when you are choosing a camp to ask questions. Find out what the camps safety record is, what requirements they use for hiring their staff (are they trained in CPR). I would also check with the local B&B and see if they have had any complaints filed to them. Of course you can always ask for reviews on different websites. What a great way to spend the summer I am sure they are going to have a great time!

Camping sites near creeks?

Yocool

is there any place in southern california that has a camping place with creeks for children to play in?

thanks:)

Answer
south fork santa ana river campground (usfs)
Seven oaks camp ground (private)
O'Neil park (county)
Irvine lake (private)
West/east/north fork campgrounds san Gabriel river (public and private)

I have camped at all these spots the water is most consistent on the San Gabriel river which has the best fishing and gold panning, second is the Santa ana river. Parks in the OC are spring time only creeks and dry up to a trickle by july.

Some spots along the coast I have also been to have camp grounds on or near the creek.

do you know of any good camping sites in yorkshire for a family with young children ?

luckibuggi

Answer
There's some great little ones in the Southern Dales, at villages like Burnsall, Kettlewell and Malham.

However, many campsites in the Dales tend to be small so don't have a great deal of facilities.

Hope this helps - happy camping!

Camping Activities for a teen by herself?

Sasha

Hi :) So I'ma fourtteen year old girl and in a few days, my family and I are going on a camping trip (in a tent, not a caravan/camper van) and I'm really looking forward to it. But I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some fun things that I could do as I'm an only child and I don't have any friends coming with me (besides lieks unbathing or reading).The camp site is right near the beach, my parents are the sort of people who will spend all there time lying around reading, but I want to do something and there are no nearby towns or anything to explore. There are like bush tracks but I'm a little bit scared to go on one of those by myself in case of snakes etc. So any ideas welcome! Please and Thank-you! xx

Answer
While camping one of the best ways to spend time is making yourself more comfortable. Firewood, maybe a clothes line to hang things on. How about this for a lady, make a little rack to put your socks on by the fire. Then when you put them on nice toasty feets. How about gathering some nuts and goodies for the animals. They come around camp and are used to campers feeding them. It is fun to see who comes to visit.

Take a camera if you enjoy having nice pictures to show. And above all go do allot of exploring. You can even go sit quietly in the forest and watch and listen to the animals going about their day. If you get good at it I like to follow a deer around through their day. Early mornings are the best time. Some amazing things go on everyday in the forest. One just needs to go out and watch. A den of fox kits are pretty cool to watch. They play like kittens. One guy will hide and ambush another as they have fun in their day. It can be just pretty cool out in the forest if you sit quietly and watch and listen.

There are so many cool things that happen everyday that most people have no idea how amazing it is right outside your door. Enjoy, hope you love it.

Edit : I saw your worried about snakes and such, nothing to be concerned about. Just look carefully as you move. Very simple with animals you can always make a deal with them. You can look but don't touch. For little critters use a stick. The deal you have to make with any animal is that you always allow them a way to leave. Even the ones you worry about if they can just leave you are fine and they are fine. When they get fed up with you they just want to leave. It is all about survival. We all want to survive. Right ?

Should Florida build green tent towns for the homeless?

best camping site for children image

Paul

Then have prison clean up crews clean up their old camp sites. These tent towns would have to build showers, daily food cafeterias, & toilets etc. Keep Florida Beautiful.

Answer
In New York City, they have complexes called "The Projects" which are where the government built massive apartments for the poor. The result were drug and crime infested ghettos where the poor felt trapped. Concentrating the poor in out of the way sites is simply cruel and inhumane. The Boston area has an interesting approach, every developer is required to spread a certain percentage of homes throughout their developments as subsidized housing. The homes must be identical to the other homes in everything except the extras. The result is that the poor are treated as normal people, the children grow up in a healthy community and they have hope for the future.

Should I join The Caravan Club or The Camping and Caravanning club?

James

Following from my last question, I'm wondering which club, if any, I should join.
I've always camped (under canvas), and am now on the verge of getting a touring Caravan, so I imagine my tenting days will get less and less.
I've always had a certain prejudice against these kinds of clubs, mainly due to my Parents always seeing club members as 'snooty', while I was growing up.
I see things a little differently now though and am opening up to the idea. And I also like the idea of well run, organised sites, child friendly, or child free, depending on the situation, and having some back up if things go wrong.
I also understand that the clubs offer discounted Van insurance etc. What's this like if you have any experience?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Answer
The Good Sam club here is the USA is more of a association rather than a group of people that gather to go camping. I belong to it for the discounts we get on campsites and goods or services. They do offer networking so you can find other groups of like mind to go camping with and as you say there are good times and fellowship along with safety in numbers so I do recommend you join up with a group.

Good Camping Sites in Tennessee and Florida?

luckygirl

I am looking for good camp sites in Tenn and Florida! I want to go with my family, 5 adults and 2 children. I want to have some place with caves and unique features. Some place where we can all sit around the fire at night and go fishing during the day. Also looking for a service that rents R.V's or campers. (Not everyone is as "outdoories" as i am!) Anything will help! Tell me about your favorite spot!

Answer
My brother and sister are not experienced wilderness backpackers, but have enjoyed vacations in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. National Parks are tame enough for any family seeking developed campground facilities and a protective surroundings.

Activities for children who are 4and 5 while camping?

sexymexi

I'm sending my husband, son, brother, his son, and my father on a camping trip to the lake for father's day. I need some ideas on activities to keep the boys occupied while they are gone. Something they can do at the camp site. Also I need some food ideas not just hot dogs and hamburgers.

Answer
Keep foods simple and foods enjoyable so the kids will eat it. So that makes hot dogs and hamburgers ideal. Precook foods if you can specially for the first days meal or pick up a bucket of chicken and sides on the way there. Next days Breakfast also keep simple as well sweet rolls, fruits, instant oat-meals are simple to prep with near zero clean up. here are some more plans for eats besides road kill stew
http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/planning+menu.html

As for the kinder-age kids they are old enough to enjoy camping adventures like fishing, hiking and exploring but they also have short attention spans so keep the activity short, a hike would be an hour or so as with fishing too. Make stuff with things you find. For example spell out dads name with sticks you find and string them together in a mobile from a longer stick. Teach some skills like how to make a fire, what to do if lost like hug a tree, play tree freeze tag where trees are the safe zone but only for the count of 5 and so on. Here are more suggestions for kids
