It’s summertime and camping season is in full swing! Whether it’s a rainy day or you and the kids just need some down time after a busy morning of camping activities, snuggle in your sleeping bag or in the shade of a big tree and get to work on this fun camping word search printable!
These free camping printables are a great addition to include in your line up of screen-free road trip activities and get kids excited for upcoming camping adventures!

We usually fill this time with books, games and naps 🙂 Word searches are a great way to unwind, learn some new vocabulary words and have a little quiet time whether on a road trip or resting in your tent!
