Whether it’s a weekend of camping or simply a short hike, you’re in for an opportunity to strengthen family bonds and make lasting memories.
Here are some activities worth considering as you explore the outdoors with family:
Camping under the stars
There’s something quite special and magical about camping under the stars, especially if loved ones are involved in the experience.
Camping affords you the chance to enjoy life’s simple pleasures while you reconnect with nature. As your young ones are introduced to the wonders of nature, they will quench their curiosity and learn important skills.
Plus, you will get to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and to make some lasting memories with those dearest to your heart.

Put on your hiking boots and head out into the great outdoors. It is a fantastic way to fully indulge in nature’s beauty.
Pick a trail that is easy or moderate so that the experience is accommodative of all members of the family. Apart from the health benefits which you will be reaping as a family, you will also be spoiled to amazing views and nature’s embrace.
Birdwatching
Have you ever considered birdwatching? Grab a pair of binoculars and head to your local park. Birdwatching can be very intriguing, stimulating and soothing, especially for children.
You can also purchase books which will teach you and your family about different types of birds. This will enrich your experience when you head outdoors.

Sometimes, simply taking a calming stroll in nature is enough. Visit a botanical garden with your family and take leisurely walks as you enjoy nature’s breathtaking beauty.
You can also pack a picnic basket and bond with your family as you enjoy delicious treats. Bringing a notepad and some colouring pencils for your children to draw their surroundings is also a stimulating activity they are likely to enjoy.
