Question

What do I make a camp out of if I don't have a tent?

Community Answer

You could use folding chairs and old blankets. You could also use a large umbrella. Take a look at what you have around the house/yard, gather a bunch of supplies, and get creative!

No, you do not have to have a Swiss army knife. You don't really need the knife, especially if you are a kid. Ask your parents before getting one.

Question

I want to see animals up close. What are the best ways to do that?

Community Answer

You can use some binoculars to make the picture bigger and clearer. However, they can be expensive, so you'll have to save up your money for it! If you like taking photos, you could get a camera with a good lens that can see the animals close up.
