There are many reasons to choose camping over a hotel in a popular resort town, but let’s focus on the most important ones:
- Close to nature
It is important for children to be in a non-urban environment, in places with clean air and great biodiversity. Not only will they get to know many plants and animals they have never seen before, but they will also be able to admire the starry sky, enjoy the freedom to eat fruit straight from the trees, run barefoot, etc. The sun will also provide them with vitamin D, which is important for strengthening the immune system and maintaining healthy bones and teeth.
However, make sure you stock up on repellents, high-factor sunscreen, and essential medicines. Don’t forget that children need to drink plenty of fluids, especially during the hot months.
- Acquisition of new skills
In nature, you can teach children many new skills, such as building a shelter, fishing, orienting themselves according to the environment, etc.
Some of these skills cannot be learned in an urban environment. Camping is also a great opportunity to teach children to live in harmony with nature by sorting their waste, protecting protected areas, etc.
- Naturally overcoming fears
By learning new skills, some of which were mentioned above, children naturally protect themselves from phobias or overcome their fears—of heights, of depths, of getting lost… To ensure that this process runs smoothly, be sure to warn the little ones not to leave the camp grounds, not to enter the water without permission, and not to pick unfamiliar plants.
