Recently, there has been a boom in outdoor activities that can be enjoyed while avoiding crowds.
In such a trend, "mother and child camping" has also become increasingly popular.
What exactly is this type of camping?
Outdoor activities are becoming increasingly popular, with more and more people enjoying the outdoors in various forms such as family camping, solo camping, and girls' camping.
On the other hand, in the case of family camps, it may be difficult to make plans if the family's schedules do not align. Recently, each campsite has become very popular and in some locations, reservations are booked months in advance, even on weekends. For families where the father has many weekends off, it can be difficult to make reservations months in advance as the situation may change by then.
Meanwhile, camping with mothers and children has become increasingly popular.
On SNS, many people seem to be enjoying mother-child camping, saying things like "Second night of mother-child camping! Relaxing and luxurious time" and "First time mother-child camping, but it was fulfilling! Played to our hearts' content~".
So, what specific benefits are there?
The biggest advantage is being able to enjoy camping on relatively quiet weekdays. Compared to family camping, it is easier for mothers and children to coordinate schedules and visit the campsite casually. On weekdays, the campsite is not crowded, so you can fully enjoy nature and spend a relaxing day.
In addition, you can deepen your communication with your child. At the camp, there are many things to do such as setting up tents, preparing meals, and cleaning up afterwards. Therefore, your child's cooperation is essential. By working together, you may also increase communication and create opportunities to strengthen your bond through cooperation.
In addition, there are also cases where children take the initiative to help with the work. For those who usually go on family camps, children may imitate their father's work and work on it in the same way. By doing so, it may be an opportunity to feel the growth of children even more.
On the other hand, there are some points to keep in mind when camping with a mother and child.
At the campsite, there are various tasks such as setting up tents and preparing meals, and it's easy to get busy and accidentally lose sight of your child. To avoid this, it's important to choose a campsite where your child can always be watched. It's best to choose a place where there is less risk of getting lost or in danger, and where you can keep an eye on your child. It's also important to keep an eye on your child if they are too young. In a busy campsite, it's important for children to be able to follow adult instructions, such as carrying and tidying up. Therefore, it's best to take children around 5 years old to the campsite. In addition, it's important to come up with ways to reduce the preparation time. For example, setting up tents used to be a difficult task for one person, as it involved assembling the poles and tying the fabric with ropes.
However, recently there has been a convenient product called "one-touch tent" that allows you to set up a tent immediately with the feeling of opening an umbrella. By using these tents that can be assembled quickly without taking much time, you can save time and effort. When it comes to meals, you may feel the need to cook something substantial. However, camping involves many tasks such as preparing for the trip and taking care of children. Also, starting a fire can take a lot of time and you need to be careful when handling it. Therefore, it is convenient to have something that can be easily cooked on a stove without starting a fire at first.
When camping with your mother and child, there are several points to keep in mind. However, it is through helping each other and overcoming these challenges that you can deepen your bond. Including these points, it is recommended to thoroughly prepare before embarking on a camping trip. If you are interested in a mother-child camping experience but feel anxious, it may be a good idea to go with a friend and their family.
Mother and child camps require more attention than family camps, so it is important to conduct them in a safe and secure environment.
