When my family and I plan for our next camping adventures, there are a lot of preparations before the trip. I've had my list of essentials that has grown steadily although I've also stricken-off quite a few, too. My teens have their own assignments and they have something to monitor such as the first aid kit and all the medicines, lotions and balms should be current. Being proactive is key!
