Product Description

Exceptionally strong skills training – that’s what you get with  Family and Friends .

The clear methodology, with objectives for every lesson, and carefully staged activities support your children’s learning.

So do the controlled ‘Skills Time’ programmes in every unit – and their listening, speaking and literacy skills will continually improve.

Phonics is straightforward and fun! The progression is specially written for non-native speakers, meaning each sound is taught in a way that’s easy to understand.

The writing activities are very well structured and train essential sub-skills too, such as punctuation, so children feel ready to do their own personalised writing in the Workbook and worksheets from the Photocopy Masters Book.

For fun in class, teach your lessons through a wide range of linked print and digital resources – so they meet the needs of students with different learning styles. Why not try the interactive writing posters and the phonics cards or the chants and the drills?

Do you need help preparing for tests?

There are print-ready practice papers for international exams such as CYLET or you can customize tests to practise a particular language point or to suit mixed ability classes.

But it’s not only about academic success –  Family and Friends  develops the whole child too. The values syllabus helps children develop social and emotional skills which guarantee success in the classroom and at home.

The Ultimate Camping Checklist

Some of the links on this page are affiliate links

Whether you love planning logistics and packing for a camping trip or tend to leave it to the last minute, it’s important to make sure you have all of the essentials. At CleverHiker, we love for all things planning so we put together this checklist to help make packing easy and stress-free.

To determine what gear you need to bring on your trip, ask yourself these questions:

• What is the weather forecast for the specific area I’ll be in?  Look up the weather forecast for the entirety of your trip and take the lowest low and the highest high as the temperature range you need to plan for. If precipitation is in the forecast, you’ll need waterproof outer layers as well.
• Are you going to a campground or a primitive campsite?  This will help you determine whether or not there will be picnic tables, fire pits, bathroom facilities, water, and electricity. You’ll obviously need to pack a bit differently for primitive camping.
• What activities would you like to do?  You get to decide how you want to spend your time in the outdoors. Complete your gear list with the items you need to make hiking, fishing, biking, playing games, or just relaxing in camp enjoyable.
• How luxurious do you want your camp to be?  Think of your campsite as a blank canvas where you can set up as much or as little as you’d like to make it your own. Some people take great pride in setting up elaborate, cushy camps, while others prefer to take a more minimalistic approach.

Starting from Scratch?

While this gear list may look intimidating at first, you don’t need every single item here, and you’ll probably find that you already have a lot of these items around your house.

Start by gathering the important basics like your shelter and sleep system first, then expand from there.

If you’re on a tight budget, consider renting or borrowing big-ticket items to get you started. Your camping supplies will upgrade and evolve as you go on more trips and grow to love camping.

Camping Tips

Staying organized.

It’s really easy to keep your camping gear organized by using clear plastic bins with lids. You can see what’s inside each one at a glance and slide them easily in and out of the car. The bins also keep your items contained and protected from dust and critters in camp. And, as an added benefit, your stuff will always be stored in one place at home – ready to go for your next adventure. All you’ll have to do next time you want to head out is quickly go through the bins with your checklist, add clothing, restock consumables, and you’re good to go.

Camping Food

The camp kitchen and your food system will vary greatly depending on how much or little you want to cook on your camping trip. Some people prefer to bring mostly cold or prepared foods, while others enjoy whipping up gourmet meals at their campsite.

Deciding whether you’d prefer not to cook, to cook on a stove, use a grill, or over a fire will help you figure out what to pack and what kind of food to shop for. We usually prefer to prep and combine some ingredients at home, then do some simple cooking on a stove in camp. Taking the time to make a meal plan before your trip will make your role as camp chef much easier and more fun.

Check out our Easy Camping Recipes That Taste Gourmet post for meal ideas. We also have a ton of other food-related resources that work for both camping and backpacking.

Stay Cool, Cooler

A quality cooler will have thick insulation to help keep it cold for a long time. But even the best cooler will lose its cool after a day or two on hot summer trips.

Use these tips to help your cooler perform to its max potential, keeping food safe and drinks ice-cold, the way we like ‘em:

• Pre-chill both your food and your cooler before you load it for the best start
• The fuller your cooler is, the less trapped warm air has to cool, so choose one that isn’t too large and top it up whenever possible
• Separate your drinks from your food in two smaller coolers instead of one large one to reduce the number of times people open them
• Cover your cooler with a blanket, sleeping bag, or pad, and keep it in the shade

If you’re in the market for a new cooler, check out our list of the  Best Coolers .

Garbage in Camp

It’s a good practice to keep your campsite clean and free of litter to keep birds, rodents, bears, and other wildlife from getting a taste for human food. It really doesn’t take much to follow Leave No Trace protocol and it improves the way you experience your campsite too.

We try to separate garbage from recyclables whenever we can. Dispose of garbage in campground receptacles when you leave your site unattended or store foods items and garbage in your car. In bear country, it’s a good idea to keep your food in a bear locker, store it in your car, or properly hang a food bag like the Ursack .

First Aid Kits

You can’t be prepared for absolutely everything, but you should have what you need to take care of minor cuts, scrapes, sunburn, bug bites, upset stomachs, and headaches. Check out our Best First-Aid Kits list to find the best one for you and your camping needs.

Why trust us?

We understand how tough it is to find trustworthy gear advice, and that’s one of the main reasons we built CleverHiker. We live for outdoor adventure, and we take these guides very seriously.

• Our recommendations are completely independent and based on hands-on experience.
• We test outdoor gear for a living – we’ve logged over 20,000 trail miles and 1,000 nights in the wilderness.

• We field test every product we recommend, which is sadly not the norm.
• We travel to industry trade shows to stay up-to-date on product innovations.
• We continuously update our guides throughout the year and when new products launch.
• We treat recommendations to our readers as if they were for our family and friends.
• We’re lifelong learners and we’re always open to feedback. If you think we’ve missed a worthy product or got something wrong, we’d love to know about it.

How to Plan An Enjoyable Camping Trip with Friends

Gaby pilson.

• Last Updated : February 25, 2024

Interested in camping with your friends but need help planning your first trip?

We’re here to help.

Camping with your friends can be a superb way to enjoy the wonders of the great outdoors. But, planning your first trip can be a bit overwhelming.

Since camping with friends often involves striking the right balance between everyone’s wants and needs, planning one adventure that works for everyone isn’t always easy. As a result, it’s important that you have a system in place to ensure that everyone has the experience of a lifetime while you’re outside.

To get you started, we created this guide to planning a camping trip with your friends.

In this article, we’ll offer up some of our top tips for camping with friends to help everyone in your group make the most of your upcoming trip into the wilderness.

1. Discuss your expectations

First things first, before you ever leave home, you’ll want to discuss your camping expectations as a group.

Unless you’ve all camped together many times before, it’s likely that everyone in your group has different expectations of what a camping trip should look like.

Unfortunately, if everyone in your group has a different vision in their mind of what their adventure will be like, it will only lead to frustration down the line.

So, taking the time to sit down and chat as a group about what you want to get out of your trip is important.

Doing so will help ensure that everyone’s on the same page, whether you’re planning a backpacking trip to Rocky Mountain National Park or a car camping getaway to Zion .

2. Decide on a destination

Once you all have a general idea of what you want your trip to look like, it’s time to choose a destination.

While there’s no universal answer about where you should camp when adventuring with friends, we would recommend that you choose somewhere that’s exciting and memorable.

Of course, there’s beauty to be found in all natural places. But, finding a camping spot that makes everyone in your group excited about your trip is ideal. That way, you can make sure that everyone feels invested in and committed to your upcoming adventure.

3. Find a time that works for everyone

With work, family, and other commitments taking up much of our time, many of us juggle busy schedules in our day-to-day lives. So, it’s essential that you find a time for your camping trip that really works for everyone.

When camping with a large group, it’s all too easy for someone to feel pressured into committing to a certain date that works best for everyone else, even if it’s not great for their schedule. If this happens, people are more likely to bail on your trip at the last minute, which is a disappointment to everyone.

That being said, it can be really challenging to find a date that really is great for all the people in your group.

It’s important to try to be as inclusive as possible when planning your trip so that no one feels left out during your outing.

4. Craft a menu

Food is always a major part of any camping trip, and for good reason. Who doesn’t like to enjoy a tasty meal after the end of a long day of hiking?

When camping with friends, though, food often takes on a whole new layer of fun and community. That’s because mealtimes often turn into social events where everyone can sit back and chat about the day’s activities.

However, food can also be a logistical challenge for some folks, especially if people in your group have dietary restrictions or allergies. Therefore, you’ll want to take the time to craft a menu before leaving home.

When building your menu, you’ll want to take into account any dietary preferences, restrictions, and allergies.

If someone has a serious food allergy or intolerance, you may even need to pack separate camping cooking gear , cookware , and coolers to ensure that there won’t be any cross-contamination.

Above all, though, it’s important that everyone will enjoy the food that you have while you’re camping. If there’s one thing that will certainly lead to grumpiness at the campground it’s hungry campers, so packing tasty food that pleases everyone is essential.

5. Choose your activities

As we’ve mentioned, everyone has a different idea of what a camping trip will look like. Thus, finding activities that work for everyone is vital if you want your journey to go off without a hitch.

Depending on the experience and comfort levels of your group, your activities may include short day hikes on nearby trails or paddling adventures on a local lake. Whatever you choose, however, it’s critical that you find something that everyone can enjoy.

Alternatively, if there are some folks in your group that are keen on longer adventures while others are interested in a more relaxed outing, you could split up into separate groups for the day.

Be sure to recover each night and share stories about your day over the campfire so that everyone feels like they’re part of the group experience.

6. Divvy up the packing list

One of the best parts about camping in a group is that you can divvy up the packing list.

When camping on your own, you’re solely responsible for packing everything from your 2-person tent to your stove and air mattress .

If you’re camping with friends, everyone can take responsibility for certain aspects of the packing list.

For example, some people can volunteer to bring the camping chairs while others can be responsible for bringing the camp kitchen . That way, everyone can contribute to the camping experience.

7. Give everyone a role

This might sound like a tactic from kindergarten, but giving everyone in your group a role for your trip can do wonders for your group morale.

Even if you’re camping with your best friends, everyone’s unique personality plays out in different ways while outside. Indeed, while some folks are keen to lead by example, others prefer to work silently in the background to support the group.

However, people can easily get frustrated with each other if they feel like other group members aren’t doing their fair share of the camp chores.

To remedy this issue, everyone can volunteer for a role during the trip, such as head chef or chief gear organizer.

That way, everyone can feel like they made a meaningful contribution to the success of the trip.

8. Consider booking multiple campsites

Camping with your friends often means spending a lot of time in close contact with a group of people.

For some folks, particularly people who are naturally quite introverted, all this social interaction can feel overwhelming.

In these instances, it can often help to book multiple campsites at your local campground. In fact, even just a few hundred feet of separation and added personal space can be enough to ensure that everyone can relax and recover from a long day of activity.

9. Spend your evenings together

Regardless of what you plan for your daytime activities during your camping trip, your evenings should be spent together as a group.

Sitting around the campfire and chatting away with your friends is often the highlight of any group camping adventures, so prioritizing these experiences is important.

If possible, it’s worth planning to have dinner together every night, even if you’re staying at separate campsites. Then, you can plan to have a fire after dinner where everyone can sit back and unwind in each other’s company.

Oh, and if you’re looking to spice up your evenings, it’s always worth bringing some camping games on your trip. A few rounds of a silly game can be just what you need to get everyone laughing and chatting away during your evening campfire.

10. Be flexible

Last but not least, don’t forget to be flexible while camping with friends.

Everyone experiences camping differently and, for some, spending a lot of time outside can feel stressful or overwhelming.

At the end of the day, being flexible with each other and open to changes in the itinerary can help everyone feel more at ease during your trip. This will make it easier for you and your friends to create fond memories that will last a lifetime.

The Great Outdoors: How to Actually Enjoy a Family Camping Trip with Your Kids

 Forget burnt marshmallows and wet firewood – the real challenge of a family camping trip is trying to sleep in a flimsy tent with a snoring spouse and a toddler who thinks it’s morning at 3 AM. But fear not dear reader, whether you have older children, or younger kids, or this is your first time on a family camping trip, or even if you’ve been camping together for years, we’ve compiled a list of our best tips and tricks to help families survive (and maybe even enjoy) a camping adventure together.

Get The Right Gear

First and foremost, make sure you have the right gear. A quality tent , sleeping bag , and air mattress will make all the difference in your whole family’s comfort level. Don’t skimp on these items – trust me, you’ll be glad you splurged when you’re all snuggled up in a warm, dry tent on a rainy night. On one of our first camping trips in Colorado, I cheaped out on the air mattress and woke up with horrible back pain. The boys were fine, but as soon as we got home, I ordered a nice one, and the next trip was a complete game changer. Also, make sure you have a plan for dealing with bad weather. If a storm is brewing, make sure you know where you’ll go and what you’ll do. Just in case. 

Safety First

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or it’s your first camping trip, when you go camping with kids, there are a few safety gear items that you should never leave home without. Here are the must-haves for a safe and fun camping trip with your kids:

Life Jacket

• If you’ll be near any bodies of water, it’s essential that everyone has a properly fitting life jacket . If your camping trip involves swimming in a lake or boating, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. My boys always give me a hard time about making them wear these, but my youngest isn’t the strongest swimmer, and anything can happen. They give me a hard time, but they know, no life jacket, no boat!
• Pack a first aid kit and make sure you know how to use it. Accidents happen, and it’s always good to be prepared. A first-aid kit will come in handy for minor scrapes and bruises. 

Flashlights

• Flashlights are essential for nighttime trips to the bathroom, and they can also be used in emergency situations.
• Mosquitoes and other bugs can ruin a camping trip, so it’s best to be prepared and bring bug spray with you.

Best Camping Snacks

Next, plan your meals carefully. No one wants to deal with hangry kids (or adults) in the wilderness (or on the road trip to the wilderness). Pack a variety of non-perishable, easy-to-prepare snacks and meals, and don’t forget the hand sanitizer and wipes . Kids love snacks, especially when they’re traveling! Here are some great non-perishable snacks to add to your checklist for the kids while camping:

Dried fruits and nuts 

Dried fruits and nuts are a healthy and filling snack option for kids. Dried fruit is another classic camping snack that’s easy to pack and doesn’t need to be kept cold. Plus, it’s a healthier option than some of the other sugary snacks you might be tempted to bring. My boys love fruit snack gummies, but I finally got them to start asking for dried fruit instead. We love them because they can still be pretty sweet, but I don’t feel as guilty about it as the processed alternative. 

Granola bars

Granola bars are a classic camping snack. They’re easy to eat on the go and come in a variety of flavors. These tasty treats are a staple of any camping trip. They’re easy to pack, don’t need to be refrigerated, and are perfect for munching on while you explore the great outdoors. This granola bar brand is the kind my boys love!

Crackers and cheese

Crackers and cheese are a classic camping snack for a reason. They’re easy to pack and store, and my picky eaters love them!

Cooking In The Great Outdoors

For hearty meals, there is a lot of cooking gear available for purchase these days, and it can be tough to know what to buy for cooking while camping. Here are a few key considerations when purchasing cooking gear for camping:

• The first thing to consider is what type of camping you’ll be doing. If you’re planning on using easy access options like car camping, tent campers, or RV sites, you’ll have more space and can bring heavier and less expensive gear. If you’re backpacking, you’ll need to be more selective about your gear, as you’ll need to carry it all on your back until you reach your camp site. If you’re staying at an RV site or tent camping at one of the United States national parks or state parks, there may be a picnic table you can use. But if you’re backpacking, you may want to bring a small collapsable table with you to prep and eat your food.
• The next thing to consider is what type of cooking you’ll be doing. If you’re just boiling water for coffee or tea (or hot chocolate), you’ll need a different setup than if you’re cooking full meals.
• You’ll also need to consider what fuel you’ll be using. If you’re using a camp stove that runs on propane, you’ll need to bring a propane tank. If you’re using a campfire for hot dogs and s’mores, you’ll need to gather or purchase wood and kindling.
• Finally, you’ll need to consider what pots and pans to bring. If you’re just boiling water, you’ll only need a pot. But if you’re cooking full meals, you’ll likely need a variety of pots and pans.

And finally, embrace the chaos. This is not a luxury vacation, it’s a camping trip. There will be bugs, there will be dirt, and there will be moments of frustration. But that’s all part of the fun (or at least, that’s what we tell ourselves). So go ahead, let your kids get messy, and explore their surroundings, in this great place called mother nature. They’ll remember the adventure long after the trip is over. It can be a lot of work to keep them safe and comfortable at tent sites, but it’s worth seeing them enjoy themselves while spending quality time with their family. Plus, if there are other kids camping nearby, this can be a great opportunity to help them make new friends. One of my boys used to be pretty shy, but after we started going camping, he learned friendships didn’t have to be so serious. He loves fishing and has found that he is a pretty good teacher too!

Tips For Success

No matter how much you plan, something will go wrong. Be prepared for bad weather, insects, and anything else that might come up. This means packing extra clothes, food, and supplies and being aware of your surroundings at all times. You can make online reservations for a nice spot with hot showers, fire pits, and flush toilets, but if you’re planning for a last-minute trip, be prepared to rough it at a bit more primitive campground if need be.

Keep them busy

A bored child is a recipe for disaster. Have a few good options to keep them entertained. Make sure to bring along plenty of activities to keep them occupied. Some great ideas are books, toys, and games. It’s also a good idea to plan some hikes and other outings that will tire them out so they’ll be ready for bed when you’re ready for them to go to bed. Bring along art supplies, such as crayons, markers, or watercolors, and encourage children to draw or paint the sights and sounds of the camping trip.

Be flexible.

Kids can be unpredictable, so it’s important to be flexible when camping with them. If the weather changes or they get tired, it’s ok to adjust your plans. The most important thing is that everyone has a good time, so go with the flow and be prepared for anything. Camping with small children can be a challenge, but it’s also a lot of fun. By being prepared and flexible, you can make sure family members have a great time and make some family memories. Embrace the chaos and enjoy the outdoors with your kids!
