Let’s get started on spring and summer early! It’s still too cold for regular outdoor activities, especially camping, so why not bring the camping inside! We’ve got your indoor camping party already planned for you. Just follow the simple steps for a super fun sleepover with your kids and their friends!
Build your tents or forts
If your kids are old enough, have them lend a hand in building your tent. Small store-bought tents can be inexpensive, however you can also throw sheets over a clothesline or even build other forts out of pillows and blankets. Don’t forget that boxes and markers can make for great tent-building materials! Make sure everyone gets comfy and unloads their pillows and sleeping bags in and around your tents or forts! Now you’re off to a great start!
Make a (fake) fire
There are tons of ways to create a safe, fake fire for fun! Place your campfire outside of your tent. You can use sticks, paper towel tubes, tissue paper, and LED candles to create your fires and give a nice glow to your campsite. The campfire is a perfect place to huddle and share stories, sing songs, and read books!
Eat some camp food snacks
A camping party wouldn’t be complete without camp food! Traditional campfire food includes s’mores – of course – plus hotdogs, chips, and even chili. S’mores can be toasted in the oven for a fresh-from-the-campfire taste.
Watch some drive-in movies
Follow the outdoors theme by making your own “Drive-In” theater. Turn boxes into cars by using markers. Have all the kids pull up to the theater. Pick and outdoor adventure or camping movie just to fit the theme. Don’t forget the popcorn!
Stargaze inside before bed
Decorate your ceiling with twinkling holiday lights for a starry-night experience. You could even tape your lights into patterns to create your own constellations. You can also create constellations with glow-in-the-dark plastic stars! Have your kids draw and create their own constellations with white crayons on black or dark blue paper. What do their constellations represent? What do they think the galaxy looks like?
The last step to a successful indoor camping sleepover is to snuggle up in your sleeping bags for the night. An indoor camping party is a great way to get excited for summer and bring a fresh idea to a regular sleepover. Get more inspiration from HowDoesShe.com and Evite.com.
