Summer Fun: Important Lessons for First Time Campers

by Beth Montgomery on July 5, 2011 · 6 comments

in Tips & Basics

Our Family Tent

Since I was a little girl, my family always took me camping in the summer. It was one of my favorite things to do. Sure, it’s not the cleanest vacation, but for kids, that’s not a problem! We’d tour Indiana, visiting all the campgrounds and State Parks.

Now, that I have my own kids, I do with them. I love sitting by a campfire stuffing myself with S’Mores and hot dogs cooked over an open fire. I love walking on trails, exploring, sleeping outside with the sound of crickets, and playing games on a picnic table with the light of a lantern and lightening bugs all around. There is something freeing about not being able to get an internet connection no matter what!

S'mores are so good!

But, if you’re new to camping, it can be overwhelming. What do you take? What do you cook? Where do you go? As an experienced camper, I have some important tips for you!

Where to go?

I’m a big fan of Indiana State Parks, because they have great campgrounds with lots of stuff to do for the whole family. There are activities at the Nature Center like searching ponds for crawl dads and tadpoles, horseback and pony rides, trails, pools or beaches, and canoeing.

But, what are my favorites?

Chain O’ Lakes: For families with young kids, Chain O’ Lakes is great. Everything is close together, so you don’t have to hike to get anywhere, there is a great small beach, and the lake is very calm, so there is no age requirements for canoeing, paddle boats, or other water recreation!

Turkey Run: If you have older kids or need a bit more adventure, head to Turkey Run! Turkey Run has great trails that go over bridges, through creeks, and even up ladders. If you’re old enough, you can float down Sugar Creek in an tube or in a kayak or canoe. And, families can horseback ride through the woods. If you’re going, make sure you check out Trail 3. It’s so much fun!

Brown County: Prefer a cleaner spot? Brown County offers camping, but also cabins, if you want to enjoy nature a bit more civilized. Plus, there is a picturesque town nearby with restaurants, candy shops, and even a winery!

How to pick your spot?

When you pick a camping spot on the Indiana State Park website, it can be intimidating. You get to see a map of campground with numbers and some details about each spot. But, what does it all mean? Well, I will admit, there is a bit of guess work involved, but here’s some things to make sure to check.

Site Type: Personally, I prefer electric, since I can plug in a fan, music, a coffeemaker, and even charge my phone, if needed.
Max Number of People: Make sure the maximum will include your whole family, you’ll have to get two spots!
Looking for Category: Make sure your preferred method of camping (e.g. tent, trailer, etc…) is listed!
Alerts & Important Information:
- High Traffic Site: This means it’s a place where cars and people go by. High traffic doesn’t mean it’s going to rival an interstate, but if you are bringing little ones who may be riding their bikes in the street, you may want to avoid high traffic sites just for safety purposes.
- Grass, Sand, Dirt, or Asphalt Site: I prefer grass, because sand or dirt means my kids won’t be able to stay clean for a second and if it rains, it will become a mud pit. But, asphalt for the kids to ride their bike and to park is nice as well, so look for a combo, depending on your needs.
- Yards To: How far is the spot from the bathroom? If you have a just-potty-trained toddler, you might want to stay close. I know from experience! Or if your kids are old enough to venture by themselves, but not old enough you want them venturing far. Plus, how far is the spot from the water, showers, and playground? That’s all important, depending on your needs.
- Sun/Shade: This is another important one! If it’s August, you may want to avoid an all sun spot or you won’t be able to escape the heat. A little or full shade is always nice.

What to take?

Camping isn’t like staying in a hotel. There are bathrooms, showers, and a spot with grass. That’s about it. So, if you don’t bring it, it won’t be there (unless you shop at the camp store). Maggie shared her thoughts on “Camping for Rookies: What You’ll Really Need” and she’s right. You don’t need much.

However, if you plan on staying for longer than one or two night, you may need a more extensive list. Here is our family Camping Check List. It’s a lot, I know, but it’s a list compiled for years upon years of camping vacations.

What do we do?

Yes, you’re in the middle of no where with nothing but a fire and a tent, but it’s not boring. Relax and make the kids put away their iPods, Nintendo DS systems, and all that. Here’s what you do…

Explore trails
Ride bikes
Play board games or cards
Play outdoor games (Corn-in-the-Hole, badminton, catch, etc…)
Swim
Canoe or Kayak
Read
Catch lightening bugs, bugs, frogs, lizards, etc…
Fish (or catch fish in a cup)
Visit the Nature Center
Check out the calendar of Park Events & Activities
Ride horses
Go bird watching (or animal spotting)
Take a nap (You’ll need it!)
Have a water fight
Play in the dirt
Climb on the playground
Meet your neighbors (campers are really friendly usually!)
Practice skipping rocks in the creeks or lakes
Put together a jigsaw puzzle
Have a picnic
Play Pooh Sticks (Ask your kids if you don’t know what this is or check out Wikipedia)
Visit the local town
Bond as a family or couple!
Go to bed early (you’ll need this too!)
Relax and let go of your stress!

Anything else I need to know?

You’ll learn as you go, but some things I’ve learned over the year include:

Racoons can open coolers! So make sure your food is well stored before you go to bed, or you’ll wake up with none.
Burn your trash to keep your fire going and reduce waste, but not while you’re cooking! Burning plastic doesn’t add the best taste to your chicken.
Plan on using about one bunch of firewood a day and one bag of ice from the camp store.
Bring diaper wipes. You won’t believe how many times someone will need themselves or something wiped off.
Avoid poison ivy or other unknown rashes by washing off your legs and arms when your return from hikes.
Don’t feed the animals, no matter how cute they may be, or they’ll never go away!
Arrive early, because putting up a tent in the dark is not so easy. In fact, you may want to practice once at home before you go.
Bring shower shoes or you’ll come home with itchy feet!

And, most importantly, have fun!

Make sure you check out the Summer Fun in Indiana series for more ways to save this summer on family fun! Enjoy your summer!

Marsh: Symphony on the Prairie Family 4-Pack Tickets {GIVEAWAY}

in Contests, Freebies & Samples, Giveaways, Store Deals

This giveaway is part of the 2011 Summer Fun in Indiana series. Make sure to check out all the places to visit and ways to save on summer fun in Indiana! Enjoy your summer!

A symphony is not a place for kids. You have to sit in your seat. There’s nothing to do but listen to the music. And, it’s long. The exception is Marsh Supermarket Symphony on the Prairie.

Bring a blanket and the whole family to enjoy the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra perform in a setting that’s much more family-friendly. Kids can run around, dance, sing, or play. There’s so much going on, such as reenactments, fireworks, and more to add drama to the performance. It’s a fun way to spend your evening.

It's more than just a concert with so much going on!

Personally, I love the orchestra, but I’m the only one in my family, so for us, Symphony on the Prairie is perfect! I get my fill of beautiful music played by an amazing orchestra and the rest of my family does suffer from boredom.

Concerts start at 8:00 PM at Conner Prairie in Fishers, Indiana.

Ticket prices:

Adult Ticket (at Marsh): $22
Child Ticket (at Marsh): $11
Under 2: FREE!

This summer you can enjoy:

July 8th: Christopher Cross with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
July 15th: Sinatra Songbook with Steve Lippia

Enjoy a family picnic while listening to music!

Tips & Recommendations for The Whole Family:

Children: Find a spot near the back where it’s less crowded, so the little ones have room to dance, wiggle, run, and move around! The playground will be open for intermission, but in the mean time, visit the booths. There are often fun things to do and see like face painting.

Adults: Bring a picnic blanket, chairs, and cooler with refreshments. You can enjoy a glass of wine while watching the symphony. Make sure you arrive early to get a good spot. The best concerts tend to fill up quickly and you’ll end up in the back where the kids won’t be able to see!

What We Love Most: Everything that’s going on! It’s not just a concert. There’s always something to see, which keeps the little ones entertained.

Ways to Save on Your Visit:

Bring a cooler and snacks (or dinner)!
Save on the cost of a table by bringing chairs or a blanket.
Parking is FREE always!
Children under 2 are FREE!

Indiana Dunes: Family Getaway {GIVEAWAY}

by Beth Montgomery on June 26, 2011 · 3 comments

in Contests, Freebies & Samples, Giveaways

This giveaway is part of the 2011 Summer Fun in Indiana series. Make sure to check out all the places to visit and ways to save on summer fun in Indiana! Enjoy your summer!

Ady walking to the top of the Beach Blowout for a spectacular view of everything from Chicago across Lake Michigan to Indiana Dunes State Park.

We just returned from our Indiana Dunes mini-family vacation and it took me so long to write this post, because I couldn’t pick which parts (and pictures) I most wanted to share most. As someone who has never visited the Indiana Dune before, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.

The DunesWalk Inn was close to town, but you felt so isolated. It was quiet (until we arrived)!

Our first stop was the DunesWalk Inn, a small inn inside what used to be the Furness Mansion. The inn is very close to town, but you felt like you were miles away from civilization. My husband and I both agreed we’d love to go back without the kids. It was the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The quiet rooms made you long to curl up and spend the day in bed. Plus, there was a sense of small-town trust and the rooms had everything you needed to make you feel at home.

Lucrezia Cafe had the best Italian food I have ever tasted!

That night we ventured into the quaint small-town of Porter for dinner at Lucrezia Cafe. The staff treated us like friends who stopped by for dinner (we even noticed one waiter run down the road to the grocery store to pick up milk for my son!), the customers at other tables made small talk in the small dining rooms, and live music played on the patio, but that wasn’t the best part. There are no words to describe the food! Even my vegetable-hating husband cleared his plate claiming, “I don’t know what they did to those vegetables, but they were out of this world.”

Daelan driving the "fire truck" in front of our tent.

After enjoying the small locally-owned stores and small town, we switched to a more rugged vacation, camping at Indiana Dunes State Park where we ran on the beach, explored the Nature Center, hiked up and down the hilly dunes, and enjoyed breath-taking views. My youngest had so much fun and wasn’t clean for a second, even jumping in the mud puddle created by the drinking fountain outside the bathrooms after his showers.

Daelan spotting his first raccoon in the Indiana Dunes State Park Nature Center.

What surprised me most about the Indiana Dunes was that it wasn’t what I expected. I expected to feel like I was in Indiana outdoors experiencing nature, but you feel so much more while exploring the dunes! Standing on the beach as the wild Michigan Lake waves beat against the shore and seagulls chirped overhead, it felt like you were standing on a beach in Florida. Tucked inside the cozy DunesWalk Inn, you felt like you were miles from civilization without a care in the world. Laughing inside Lucrezia Cafe you felt like you were part of a small town surrounded by friends. And, standing on top of a high point in Indiana Dunes State Park, you felt like you were seeing the most beautiful parts of nature. It was the perfect place to really get away from the stress of every day life.

Daelan, dirty again after his shower and exhausted after a fun vacation.

Why it’s a great place for families: Indiana Dunes can be the perfect vacation spot for everyone, no matter what their interested in doing. With so much to do from hiking to browsing small local shops, you can customize a vacation to make sure everyone has a blast.

Walking up and down the hilly dunes may be tiring for little ones.

Must-See Attraction: The Indiana Dunes (of course!)

Tips & Recommendations for The Whole Family:

Babies & Infants: While the town is very stroller friendly, bring a sling or baby carrier if you plan on hiking. You would not want to push a stroller through the sand that is found on many (if not all) of the trails!

The kids throwing rocks into Lake Michigan.

Toddlers & Preschoolers: Little kids love the little things in life, so keep your eyes peeled for things that will “wow” them. Bring a pail to build a sand castle, search for shells along the beach, catch fireflies, and throw rocks into Michigan Lake. Plus, watch for animals! We found a raccoon, mouse, interesting caterpillar, cows, horses, buffalo, turtle, fish, seagulls, squirrels, birds, lizard, beautiful butterflies, and snake.

Lurcrezia Cafe was so fun with live music, outstanding staff, and even friendly customers who made you feel so welcome.

School-Age Kids: Indiana Dunes is full of intriguing history! Every place we visited from the DunesWalk Inn to Lucrezia Cafe had an interesting story. I was shocked to walk into the bathroom at Lucrezia Cafe and find an article about Lucrezia and how she “most likely didn’t poison anyone“. I had to laugh at the idea of a restaurant being named after someone who probably didn’t poison anyone, but Ady loved hearing each and every story. She soaked it up and asked questions. Visit the museums and nature center at Indiana State Park for even more history and learning opportunities.

Teens & Pre-Teens: Hit the beach! I wouldn’t plan on swimming with all the warning and notices posted, but many teenagers were running up and down Devil’s Slide at the Indiana Dunes State Park just to say they did it, playing Frisbee on the beach, and simply hanging out.

Adults: I was shocked to find that Indiana Dunes is a great place for a romantic getaway (and affordable!), so leave the kids at home and go alone! Enjoy a mouth-watering dinner for two, be lazy and stay in bed for a day snuggling, pamper yourself with a couple’s massage or spa day, cook a romantic meal together in your room’s kitchenette.

What We Love Most: The view from the top of the Beach House Blowout in Indiana Dunes State Park. It’s breath-taking!

Ways to Save on Your Visit:

Find discount vacation packages on Indiana Dunes Tourism website.
Stop by the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center building upon arrival for exclusive discount flyers and coupons found in the visitors information racks.
Most museums and attractions at Indiana Dunes are FREE or charge minimal admission!
Save money by splitting your vacation between a nice hotel and camping like we did.
Take advantage of the natural attractions, like the Indiana Dunes, beach, Lake Michigan, hiking, bird watching, fishing, and all the outdoor activities that are FREE!
Watch for special “VIP” coupon booklets in your hotel for shopping and restaurants.
Look for coupons coming soon to the Indiana Dunes Tourism website.
Bring food! The DunesWalk Inn had a nice kitchenette in every room with tableware and everything we needed to make our own meal and nothing is better than a meal cooked over an open fire.
