We decided to take a Door County day trip, checking out the amazing parks, such as Whitefish Dunes State Park and Cave Point County Park, then driving around the peninsula.

Here are some campfire snack ideas, activities around the campfire, and other nighttime activities. I’m sure you may be familiar with some of these ideas, but I hope I am able to give you some new ideas or remind you of different things to try with your kids.

Sometimes, the perfect getaway is right in your own backyard. With dozens of parks and beaches, Door County is the perfect destination for a family visit this upcoming summer.

Frog catching keeps my boys active outside because we always walk on a trail while we do it.  It is one of many things our entire family enjoys doing together.

We have always gone alone in our single-person kayaks, but this summer we have decided to bring our kiddos along for the ride, too!

I have this idyllic notion in my head of camping with my family. We are all sitting around a crackling campfire, cozy in our matching flannels. I cook a Pinterest-worthy meal over the open flame while the girls dance around the campsite catching fireflies.

With these simple camping safety hacks, you will be back and running through the sprinkler in no time.
