Family Camping Activity – Would You Rather?

Would You Rather Camping Style

Our family goes camping all summer long.  For me, nothing beats it.  Throughout the school year, we rush from one activity to the next, get slamed with homework, and high school althetics keep us “running” non stop.  BUT when we go camping we can relax and be together.  We love playing games, swimming at the lake, fishing and of course sitting around the campfire.  Last weekend we spent hours asking and answering each other questions.  I was quite surprised that I have known my children since birth and learned so many things about them and myself.

When we go camping this weekend, I thought it would a fun family camping activity to have would you rather camping style questions to ask around the campfire.
