Camping is a time-honored tradition that has been popular for centuries. Modern camping is a true adventure, but it does not have to be a true sacrifice. There is no need to rough it in all senses of the word. Here is how you can entertain yourself while on a camping trip.
Start a game with your fellow campers. Even in the middle of nowhere, you can have some fun. If it is a group of adults, you can play a game like truth or dare. For added laughs, let it get a bit wild. For children, play duck duck goose, or play red rover if you have more than four people camping.
Have a sing-a-long. Even in the middle of nowhere without a musical instrument for miles and miles, there is still lots of great music that can be made. Have a sing-a-long! For even more fun, make a game out of the sing-a-long. The one who can sing the song all the way through, knowing all the words, gets to pick the next song.
Draw the world around you. If you have any artistic desire or skill, camping is a great time to hone those skills. Without the added pressures and artistic drains that society can place on an artist, getting in touch with nature is the best way to become more artistic. Draw the wilderness, and even draw those around you when they are out of their element.
Write about your experiences. You can use a journal for this, or even a scrap of napkin. Put it in your purse or bag when you are done, and you can reference that when making a scrapbook back home.
Take photographs of every destination, perhaps even of every tent. Photograph those you love in candid moments. The best photographs are the honest ones, and honest photographs are rarely posed.
Hike to a rhyme or chant. For some fun ideas on rhymes, watch the classic "Troop Beverly Hills" before you head off to your camping destination. Their Beverly Hills camping chant will have you rolling with laughter, and it will inspire some of your own.
