Travel World guide

Camp Out! is full of creative and informative lessons and fun activities. Truly a unique book. Any kid from video game addict to natural born scout will find this book engaging! it contains kid-level explanations without talking down to kid-level. As an adult I enjoyed reading this book and felt the cartoons weren’t too cutesy. Good for both boys and girls.

This book is jam packed with stuff for the kids to learn about while camping, hiking, or just in the backyard. There is a lot of detail and tidbits of information scattered throughout this book. I recommend this for everyone who plans on going camping with children ages 8-14.

I bought this for my grandchildren and have been having the time of my life doing such things as “sprouting my socks”. This book is filled with many great activities for kids and adults as well. Simply delightful. It encourages us to make the most of the few precious moments we have to spend with our little guys.

This is a great book that will spark many wonderful experiences with my daughter. For sure 5 stars!!
Major sections include activities, crafts, nature, and cooking. This was a logical organization, but as the father of a younger child I think it would have been nice to have some guidance and organization by age appropriateness.

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.

This book is by far the most comprehensive camping guide for kids. Has so much information! Tons of activities and lots of useful scientific knowledge. It is worth buying the book for the night sky chapter alone. It has all of the information about constellations and their myths that the other books on the market have, but also has the best seasonal star maps with information about how to read them, and information about the moon and other visible planets. The information about tracks and scat is also very informative and easy to read. The only complaint that I have is the book may be too big for it to be carried around while hiking, etc. Wish there was a day version and night version to break it up and make it easier to carry.

This book is nice for motivated older children (8 and up) to flip through on their own before a family camping trip. They can fold down the pages of things they’d like to try and really play a role in preparing for the adventure. Its also great for an organized parent who wants to have some rainy day plans, arts and crafts projects, or nature activities on hand. Just make sure to check the supply lists (all pretty basic) before you go on your trip. FYI, a lot of the projects are great for doing in the backyard, too. A nicely laid-out book with a nice tone.

We bought this book as an extra for the kids to get into our camping experiences. And now it is out go to book as a family. SO much information and activities for the kids and whole family to partatke in! If you are looking for an informative fun book then this is the one!

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.

Not only this book turned out to be better than expected, the transaction and the seller were flawless. This book is excellent for young families that are just beginning the campout experience. Plus, it’s fun to read for the kids too.

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!

We borrowed this book at the library for an upcoming camping trip and decided to purchase it! It is a one-stop book for everything you need to know to camp (back packing, tent, trailer etc.). Safety, meal plans, knots, crafts, activities, star-gazing, trail marking, animal tracking, packing and so much more!! The kids loved looking at it to prepare for our trip. We are looking forward to years of camping with our family, this will be a mainstay on our bookshelves.

I purchased this book for my 8 year old cousin, but when it arrived and I began picking through it, realized I may need a copy myself.

The book moves quickly from topic to topic, contains recipes, cute illustrations, and tons of information. After receiving the book, my cousin wanted to immediately make a “one tree tent” in the living room.

My aunt and uncle were also thrilled with the purchase, as they found it very interesting and well written as well. It will serve the family well for many years. There is information about animals, stars and constellations, scary stories, knots, wind, clouds…just about everything you needed to know about the great outdoors without being preachy or long winded.

It’s a book well suited to many ages, and has good information even for people who don’t camp. (Though it may make you pitch a tent in your backyard once just to try it!) Camp Out makes you want to go outside and do something…it doesn’t matter what.

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.

This book is awesome! It is chock-full of great ideas! This book covers everything from making all kinds of different knots to identifying animal tracks to outdoor games to the night sky and much, much more. I am helping with a Brownie troop getting ready to do an overnight camping trip and this book has helped tremendously with ideas of activities for the girls. If you can only afford one book–this is it!

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.

Some parts of this book are quite interesting in its ideas for activities. All the games described are basically hide & seek while making animal sounds. the recipes are easy and fun for kids, the packing list and common sense tips are straightforward, easy for kids to follow or read. the songs and stories are typical, been there, done that, nothing new. Illustrations are quirky and cute.
reccomend for the 1st time camper or if you want to give your kids something to read before the trip.

I am using a camping theme in my 3rd-4th classroom this year. I saw this book on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It was all that I hoped it would be plus a lot more. The book is packed with pratical ideas for kids to use to prepare to go camping as well as while they are camping. The book is a permanent fixture on my desk and the kids and I are using it as a reference all through the day.
