The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids: How to Plan Memorable Family Adventures and Connect Kids to Nature by Helen Olsson

Down and Dirty Guide

Much like the image-cluttered cover and the super-long title, this book is absolutely PACKED with information about camping with kids!  I used to go [tent] camping every summer before becoming a mom, but I have been an absolute wimp about trying it with kids.  My husband and I have been talking about finally going this summer — with our 8- and 3-year-old children — and then I saw this book on display.  I took it as a sign!  I will admit that I didn’t have the patience to read through everything, but I found the packing lists, “smart tip” boxes, and lists of potential activities to be priceless.  Granted, I haven’t put any of this into practice yet… But I can’t imagine that any failures I might experience would be the fault of this author!
