Love the idea of "breaking the script." I felt that way today, getting to see the eclipse in totality! It's so interesting that I happened upon your post about camping, because my three year old has been talking so much about camping! Just subscribed, and saving this post for your tips!
Ah yes the eclipse today was a perfect example of pulling us out of our usual routines. So memorable, so incredible. Best of luck to you on your camping adventures!
These are all great tips! Particularly "go with friends." We've enjoyed the camping trips we've done with just our family, but the trips when we go with friends who have kids around the same ages as ours--people who also enjoy the imperfect beauty of the tent camping experience--have been the best trips. I love that unique camaraderie that forms among families who are all camping together.
Great advice for the novice campers out there. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Shannon.
Thank you.
A walk in the woods by bill bryson is another good one
Thanks for the suggestion, Phil! I’ll have to check that one out.
What lucky children you have!
That is so kind!

Unique camaraderie is the perfect way to describe it. There’s nothing else quite like it!
This is wonderful advice. I listened to Last Child In The Woods a couple years ago - wow!
