Family Camp-In

Camping inside your home has a lot of perks. You can camp any time of year, and there are no bugs. You don’t even need to own a tent! Here are a few tips to help you plan a fun camp-in.

Getting Ready

  • Set up a real tent, or make a tent by draping blankets or sheets over chairs or a table.

  • Create an outdoorsy feel with plants or pictures of beautiful scenery.

  • Gather pillows and blankets or sleeping bags.

Camp Food

  • With a parent’s help, cook foil dinners in the oven. You might also pack trail mix or fruit roll-ups.

  • For dessert you can make s’mores (graham crackers + marshmallows + chocolate) in the oven or microwave. Look for other fun recipes at lessonhelps.lds.org.

Fun Time

  • Play board games or guessing games by flashlight.

  • Tell stories or read a book—by flashlight, of course.

  • Sing Primary songs for the perfect final activity before praying together and going to sleep for the night.
