What are good camping activities?
Camping is a fantastic way to combine learning and fun! Here are some great activities for homeschooling kids while you’re out in nature:
Nature Journaling
Give each child a notebook to sketch and write about the plants, animals, and bugs they see. It’s better if you have printed Bug Notebooking Pages or Bird Notebooking Pages so they will be guided! This is a great way to practice your kids’ writing and observation skills.
Star Gazing
Bring a simple star chart or use a stargazing app and spend an evening identifying constellations. It’s both relaxing and educational!
Outdoor Science Experiments
Try easy experiments like making a homemade compass or building a small volcano with baking soda and vinegar. You can try my Fizzy Apple Volcano Science Experiment! It’s fun and colorful so I’m sure your kids will love it.
Reading Time
Pack a few camping books for kids and have a cozy reading session under the trees.
Scavenger Hunts
Create a list of things to find, like different leaves, rocks, or insects. It’s a fun way to explore and learn more about the environment.
Camp Cooking
Involve the kids in meal prep and cooking over the campfire. It’s a delicious way to teach them about food and safety.
These activities keep kids entertained and help them learn in the best classroom of all— the great outdoors!

Camping Activity Sheets Supplies
- Printer (I have this one)
- Paper
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
I have the HP printer 8710 but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
