How should you prepare for a family camping trip?
First, for a family hiking and camping trip to Maine in the summer months, you will need a large tent, rain fly, and tent stakes and hammer. Now, the rain fly is essential because this will keep your tent dry. Specifically, set your rain fly up. And, make sure that nothing is touching the walls on the inside of your tent. Also, you’ll need an air mattress, battery operated air compressor, as well as your bedding. To add, don’t forget pillows and a cozy comforter. Find a campground that has family game nights, free hot showers, a recreation room, and a little shop. Lastly, it can be helpful to bring a small cooler so you can keep milk and meat cold. And, East Lyme child and adolescent therapy can help you if your family vacations have been stressful and emotional in the past.
