If you and your family love to camp, maybe you are thinking about taking your next camping trip near a lake. Here are some fun activities to do with the family while you enjoy your time away camping.
It is so fun to do some cloud watching when you decide to camp with your family near a lake. This is a fun thing to do to relax after you and your family have had a super active day. You can pick out shapes among the lovely floating clouds. Tell each other what shapes or images the clouds seem to be like. Maybe some clouds will resemble some people that you know. Maybe some clouds will remind you of cartoon characters. This activity will bring many smiles and laughs.
When you plan to camp near a lake with your family, you can have fun fishing. You can participate in fishing as a leisurely activity. Or you can be more serious in your endeavor by attempting to catch your meal. Fishing can be a wonderful time of unwinding and de-stressing. You will need your fishing rod, your sunglasses, some fishing line, maybe some waders, a beverage to stay cool and lots of patience until you get some bites on your line from the fish. This is a great way to bond with the family when you otherwise are all busy during the week in your regular life. Fish that you catch tastes so good on a campfire.
It is so fun to make rocks skip across the surface of a lake. If you have not done this for a long time, then plan to skip some rocks with your family when you camp with your family the next time. People of all ages enjoy rock skipping, which means that no person is too old to enjoy this activity. If your kids do not know how to skip rocks across the surface of a lake, take the time to teach them. This will be easy for them to catch on to do. You can make the activity fun and competitive by seeing who can skip their rocks the farthest distance and how many skips each rock can achieve, such as five, seven or more skips across the surface of the lake.
Before you leave your home to camp near a lake with your family, bring some supplies with you to make a rope swing. There is something awesomely thrilling about being able to swing full blast into the water from a rope swing. This will surely provide hours and hours of fun for the whole family. Be careful to make sure that the rope swing is strong and secure. It is ideal to attach your rope swing to a strong tree near the lake.
There is something comforting and delicious about gooey marshmallows that are roasted on a fire. They taste so special. This is a fun time to indulge and also to spend time chatting with your family.
