Why Camping in the Fall is Awesome

• Cool fall temps are so great for hiking and getting outdoors! You won't have to worry about beating the heat or waiting for the sun to go down before getting outside
• Early campfires mean more time for stories around the campfire and opportunities to create memories
• It's hard to avoid waking up at the crack of dawn while camping during the summer. Later sunrises in the fall make it easier to sleep in and recharge your batteries

Kayaking or Paddleboarding

Just because summer is over doesn't mean the paddles have to be put away! Add a few layers to your camping clothes and get out on the water. Take in the breathtaking views of the fall foliage surrounding the water.

Collect Colorful Leaves for an Art Project 

Keep the kiddos entertained by making it a game to collect colorful leaves. Bring glue, paint, and other crafting items to make art projects with the leaves and then use the art to decorate for fall!
