Get kids outdoors – give them a book!
Review – Mission:Explore Camping
We got very excited when the Geography Collective asked us to review their latest book. As if the first Mission:Explore book wasn’t fun enough, they have now released a whole new set of missions tailored specifically to our favourite pastime: Camping!
There are 50 all-new missions included in the book that are guaranteed to get kids both involved in, and intrigued by, their surroundings. From playing a challenging game of hide and seek in bright clothing to imagining the campsite 1000 years ago, young explorers will have to use every ounce of creativity and ingenuity they possess to complete their missions.

We took a couple of weeks off from work after Arabella was born and headed to Glastonbury Festival with my husband Harry, daughter Constance Avalon, and our new born baby daughter Arabella Leah (not forgetting our 20 odd friends and my dad!). ‘Mad’ is what most people called us, because I’d had an emergency c-section just 5 days before!
