Camping is the perfect time to look up and marvel at the night sky, far from city lights. Turn bedtime into an adventure by introducing your kids to the stars.
Pack a star map or download a stargazing app before your trip. Show them how to find the Big Dipper, Orion, or other easy-to-spot constellations. Bring along a blanket and lay back together, pointing out bright planets or shooting stars if you’re lucky.
Make up your own star stories or share old legends — from Greek myths to Indigenous constellations — to bring the night to life. Even younger kids will love the magic of seeing the Milky Way stretching across the sky.
