As Easter approaches, families across Australia and New Zealand are gearing up for fun-filled camping trips that promise lasting memories. Whether you’re a first-time camper or a seasoned outdoor enthusiast, Tasman Holiday Parks offers the perfect setting for your family’s Easter escapades. From traditional Easter egg hunts to unique outdoor adventures, here’s how you can make the most of this special time with family-friendly camping activities.
Easter Egg Hunt with a Twist
An Easter camping trip wouldn’t be complete without an egg hunt. Add a twist to this beloved tradition by incorporating nature-themed clues and puzzles that lead to hidden treasures around the park. Use natural landmarks as part of your clues, and let the kids explore the beautiful surroundings as they hunt for eggs. Not only does this activity encourage physical activity, but it also sharpens their problem-solving skills.
Nature Crafts
Tap into the creativity of your little ones with some nature crafts. Collect leaves, twigs, flowers, and small stones to create natural art pieces. From leaf rubbings to twig frames, these crafts are not only fun but also a great way for kids to appreciate the natural beauty around them. Display their artwork at your campsite, cabin or take it home as a souvenir of your trip.
Star Gazing
Take advantage of the clear night skies at Tasman Holiday Parks to introduce your children to the wonders of the universe. Lay back on a blanket and use a simple star map or an app to identify constellations and planets. For an educational twist, share myths and stories about the constellations to spark their interest in astronomy and storytelling.
Wildlife Spotting
Many of Tasman Holiday Parks are nestled in environments rich with wildlife. Equip your kids with binoculars and a wildlife spotting checklist. Take a quiet walk around the park at dusk or dawn when animals are most active. Teach your children to spot different species and discuss the importance of conservation and respecting wildlife habitats.
Camp Cooking
No camping trip is complete without some campfire cooking. Teach your kids the basics of campfire safety and enjoy preparing simple recipes together. From roasting marshmallows to cooking damper bread or foil-wrapped veggies, these activities not only fill your bellies but also warm your hearts. Sharing stories around the campfire or BBQ while enjoying your cooked treats can become a cherished part of your family’s camping tradition.
Water Games
If your Tasman Holiday Park is near a lake or has a swimming pool, water games can provide refreshing fun. Organize games like a relay race, water balloon toss, or even a fishing contest if the facilities allow. Always ensure safety is the priority, and supervise young children closely near water.
Scavenger Hunts – The Tasman Twist
Organise a scavenger hunt that not only engages the kids with their surroundings but also introduces them to our unique Tasmanauts characters hidden around the park. This special edition of the scavenger hunt is part of our Tasman Holiday Parks experience, where families are encouraged to find various Tasmanauts located throughout our parks. Each character discovery comes with fun facts and activities, making it an educational yet entertaining challenge. Not only will this keep the children thoroughly entertained, but it also provides a fun way to explore the extensive grounds of our parks. Grab your game card at our reception and see if you can find all the Tasmanauts during your stay!
