the reservation, you want to be absolutely sure of your group’s plans... not scrambling to finalize details at the last minute. Some campgrounds fill up quickly and you need to be ready to choose your campsite and check out before someone else gets the spot you want!
After you make the reservation...
6. Talk about when everyone is planning to arrive. Are all the sites in one name so that a particular party needs to get there first to check in? Are the sites already assigned to each individual party so that everyone can show up when it works best for them? Does the group want to meet up to do something prior to going to the campground to get the vacation started and enjoy the area?
7. Decide how meals will work. To help spread around the cost of food for group meals, and so that everyone doesn’t have to bring everything, each party can be assigned a main meal(s) (lunch or dinner) over the course of the vacation days. Breakfast and snacks can be on your own.
8. Decide on activities. Everything doesn’t have to be done as a group. Each party may have an idea of what they want to see or do. Everyone can bring something different to
the table, inviting others to join in new experiences they may not have done or considered otherwise. That’s one of the advantages of having so many people along... lots of different interests. It may be difficult at first for everyone
to not feel like they need to do everything together, but
that eventually fades as groups begin to form and go off on their own. However, choose a select number of activities for the group to do together, activities that shouldn’t be missed depending on where you’re camping.
The world has seemed very precarious, which can get anyone down, but did you know that planning a trip is good for our mental and physical health, even more than being
on the trip itself? There’s something about the anticipation. Even if you won’t be embarking on your vacation for a while, planning a trip is a fun activity that gives you and everyone else involved something to look forward to. It also works as a distraction from the events of the world (which we all need a break from, from time to time).
A special Northern Michigan place for YEAR-ROUND fun!
