Picture this. You and your family surrounding a campfire roasting fluffy marshmallows while telling corny jokes and scary stories. This is the magic of a summer camping trip.
 
Moments like this make the chaos of packing for a family with children in tow worth it. The good news: there are printable packing guides that can help you and your kids stay organized when packing for a weekend getaway in the mountains.
Download and print a packing guide and write out what gear is necessary for your tip. Do this before you begin packing. Loading up a car for a camping trip often requires extreme consolidation. Try to keep your list to the essentials. If there is room, then revisit your list and add more personal items. You don’t want to be in a position where you forget to pack a tent.

Furthermore, include your kids in the packing process. Parents can easily use the camping packing list printable as an educational and bonding exercise with their little ones. Teaching them organizational skills early on can transfer into other important life areas like school and extracurricular activities. Plus, packing alongside your kids can make them feel important and grown up, something many kids aspire to be.
 
Once you’re surrounded by nature, it’s time to bust out the animal tracks explorer cards. These printables teach kids about common animal tracks to look out for, how to spot them and fun facts about the critters. Print and cut them out, then place them on a lanyard, so you kiddos can run around in search of the tracks without losing their cards.
 
Starting your trip on the right food by intentionally packing can result in a smoother family camping trip. Challenges are bound to surface on any camping trip, but a little preparation goes along way to help make the experience one for the books. ​
