Enjoy a garden trampoline camping adventure!
If you like connecting with nature, love being in the fresh air and want to have some outdoor fun, then camping could be the perfect activity for you. Sometimes though, it’s not always possible to pack and prepare for a full camping trip. So, if you are short on time or just want an easier option, then why not set up camp in your back garden? It is super fun and can be super easy if you use your North Trampoline!
However, before you embark on this garden trampoline adventure there are a few things you should think about in advance. Without a doubt, just a little bit of planning will make sure your overnight, garden trampoline adventure is as fun as it possibly can be. And of course, avoid an aborted mission!
Here are some top tips from Jump Fitness on how to best enjoy your garden trampoline camping adventure:
Choose your night wisely
The UAE the camping season runs from around the end of October to the end of April. Outside of these dates and you might find sleeping out in your garden, without the benefit of air conditioning, a little warm! Additionally, you will also need to check the weather forecast and avoid one of the rare evenings it might rain in the UAE. No one wants a soggy bed to sleep in!
Don’t let the bugs bite
Most garden trampolines are raised off the ground and come with a surrounding net, providing the perfect barrier to creepy crawlies. Nevertheless, bug spray can be useful at preventing mosquitos from biting you. Long trousers and tops will also help if you are particularly worried.
Essential equipment for sleeping on a trampoline
Camping is easy on a garden trampoline and actually very comfortable. A pillow and a sleeping bag should be all you need for a restful night. In addition to the sleeping essentials, a torch or flashlight will come in handy. Essential for midnight bathroom visits or maybe even a midnight feast!
A garden cookout
Just because you are not in the desert, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy the delights of eating your dinner outside. Absolutely light up your fire pit or barbeque grill if you are lucky enough to have one. Alternatively, grill your burgers inside and take them outside for a picnic. S’mores (melted marshmallows sandwiched between two biscuits) are the perfect dessert for your garden camping adventure.
Play some garden games
A few planned after-dinner games always make camping more fun.
Here are some ideas:
Star Gazing:
Once the sun goes down, look up and see which stars, planets and constellations you can name. There are a few stargazing apps, like Skyview available on the App store and the Play store, that will help you.
Camping Sing-Along:
Singing some camping tunes is always a fun activity.
Torchlight Games:
Everyone can use their torches/flashlights to have some fun in the dark. Tag, treasure hunts and shadow puppet shows are all fun ways to keep you entertained.
