Camping is one of those family activities that SOUNDS fun, but when it comes right down to it, family camping can quickly become a disaster. The best way I’ve found to prevent this disaster is to prepare plenty of outdoor STEM activities that will prevent your kids from *dying* of boredom.

Of course, as a STEM activity fiend, I prefer our fun camping ideas to boost our kid’s STEM skills as well. The following ideas for camping with kids are not only extremely fun, but they are also extremely educational.

Your kids won’t ever complain (OK, they will still probably complain, but they will complain *less*) with these STEM activities to try. 

Camping with kids can be a challenge. Use these fun camping ideas to not only keep boredom at bay, but also to boost your kids STEM skills.

About Brenda Priddy

Brenda grew up thinking she hated science.

But when her 4-year- old daughter was more interested in reading science facts than fairy tales, Brenda realized she had to learn more about science to keep up with her daughter.

Through simple at-home science experiments, Brenda developed a passion for science and now acts as an advocate for STEM education for kids at her website STEAMsational.com.
