Why is a camping theme so popular?
From reading in camp chairs to sitting around a campfire to read students’ writing aloud, a camp theme creates the perfect ambiance to bring students together. Here are our favorite reasons to turn your classroom into a camping retreat:
- It’s about working together. Just like at the camp site, students have to work together to put tents together or prepare meals, camping is all about teamwork.
- It’s inviting. The woodsy decor and warm campfire (even if it’s an inflatable one) creates an inviting space.
- It’s versatile. Camping allows you to go in a lot of different directions. Hiking, mountains, animals, or something entirely different.
- It’s fun! Any classroom theme should be engaging for kids, and camping is a naturally adventurous way for kids to have fun while learning.
