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

What can I do with my wife while camping?
hershey hi
I will take my wife camping for her b'day.
I don't think there are any local attractions.
I'll take her hiking, swimming, perhaps make whoopie.
But what else? Roast marshmallows, board games, massage?
Any ideas?
Answer
Try canoeing/kayaking, birdwatching, maybe archery (if rentals are accessible for you) or fishing, board/card games are always a good fallback - especially if it rains. Try cooking her a meal over the fire and/or in a dutch oven. Or try cooking together if that's what she likes. Make it extra special by setting the table with a cloth, wine glasses, flowers, etc. Make sure to bring a decent freestanding lantern and extra fuel/batteries. You'll need it. Zip the sleeping bags together so you can "keep each other warm" at night. And don't forget to bring a first-aid kit...sucks to spend a week wishing you had the tweezers to remove a splinter.
Just make sure it's what SHE wants to do. Some people hate it. Some at least need a place with showers and flush toilets.
