We are taking our son camping for the first time over labor day weekend. He is almost two. Any tips or tricks on activities, first aid, hints to keep him from driving us crazy in the middle of nowhere?
Answer
Find someone to take him for the weekend. Just kidding.
Best things to bring with a young child on an outdoor trip (may sound obvious): good bug spray (mosquito and tick repellent), sunscreen, hat, place to change him (maybe a mat on a table, but something you can wash to rid of bugs/dirt), off the ground playpen (to avoid crawlies and dirt getting into the kids play area), favorite toy, new toys (something to keep them captivated that they haven't seen before).
Activities really dependent on your child, but something with tactile interaction, like a petting zoo or kids museum where they experience something different from home, usually work.

How to decorate for a backyard summer camp party?
Q. My 3 year old daughter is having a camp theme party and want to decorate so you really feel like you are camping
Answer
Make a large wooden sign at the entrance to the "Camp Site" and have other signs pointing the way to the toilets and showers, picnic area and wildlife trail.
Set the tents around a central seating area with the campfire as a centerpiece. Lay out low benches for sitting on or just use mats or planks of wood balanced on rocks.
Decorate the inside of the tents with streamers and balloons
Around the edges of the camp, erect some citronella torches. These will keep the bugs away and add to the camp atmosphere.
Place cuddly toys in the tress and bushes for the younger kids to discover or for the older kids, hang plastic bugs around the camp. Use glow in the dark bugs and stars which will be fun later on when it gets dark.
Hang multi colored Chinese lanterns around the garden. Some kids just can't help playing with candles so be careful where you place them.
Set up a food table and cover with green or camouflage cloth. Use plastic tableware or tin plates and cups. Provide bug stickers for each child to personalize his/her own plate and mug. It saves muddling them up.
You can also add:
Bug stickers and tattoes
T-shirts with the name of the camp and date of the birthday camping party
