Make sure that you set up the camp within a 100 yards of the near by girl scout camp....may not be the best idea but it will keep the little buggers busy when you run out of knots to tie,,,,,
Just kidding....but as a former camper I agree with all the advise given so far and would like to add that it is a good idea to make sure that you have at some freezedried soups hands for quick warm me ups....

Sing campfire songs so long and loud that the little buggers are hoarse all night and can't talk in the morning.

If it is cool at night, wear fresh clean socks to bed. The old saying 'if your feet are cold, wear a tuque and you feet will warm up', is true.

Make pee partners. A pee partner is someone other then the leader that will get up and go outside. That way at least you are not leaving the tent all night long.

A pee parade. Make sure that everyone visits the bushs/washroom before turning in for the night. And limit there fluid intake after dinner.

Take extra clothing. At some point I'm sure you will be lending out something to someone who got wet, or lost there sweater, or never packed one.

An Airstream parked right around the corner is also a great idea. After all the roughing it is for them not you.

I hope that you enjoyed your weekend.

Maybe Sharni will loan you one that she's not using this weekend. :grin:

Try not to panic at anything, even if there is a dead mouse in the laterine. Well, that might only freak out girl scouts, not sure.

The best thing you can take with you is a good sense of humor!! Try to find fun in all the weekends activities. And laugh with the kids! These are memories both you & your son will never forget!!
