Don’t stress about constantly keeping kids clean#6 EMBRACE THE DIRT
When camping, most of us loosen up on our personal cleanliness, and the same should apply to kids—it would be impossible for you to have a good time while constantly trying to keep them clean anyway. Bringing some extra baby wipes and hand sanitizer can help, but let’s face it, your kids will most likely have dirt on their hands and faces for prolonged periods of time. Remember, when children are exposed to germs early in life, it helps their body learn to defend itself from pathogens. So, relax and let them get messy—it’s good for them. And there’s a lot that can be learned from simply playing in the dirt.
