Wanna prep for dispersed camping adventures in less than 90 minutes?
Gear kit: dialed. Packing lists: perfected. Logistics: managed. Create a lifetime of family memories--without the stress.
Outdoor adventure empowers our kiddos to develop grit, curiosity, and ingenuity.
But getting outside? That takes some work, like:
-
Finding the best kid-friendly campsite
-
Researching and buying all the gear (and remembering to actually pack it)
-
Learning how to tackle a wolverine… or whatever it is they teach you in wilderness safety
-
Sleeping in a tent with a tyke who only knows blackout curtains, climate control, and a sound machine.
Don't Ask Us--Ask These Moms!
"I learned so many new-to-me things!"
Even though I have been camping with my young kids countless times, I learned so many new-to-me things! And the checklists will be super helpful for this mom who always forgets THAT ONE THING.
"I am loving this course!"
Wow, wow! I am so in awe of what you all created! I love the packing lists and budget suggestions for gear. And the section about sleeping pads and how to stay warm at camp? I never realized how much that matters!
"Finally some digestible info for families who want to get outside!"
I can't tell you how many hours I spent on the web trying to find this exact information when I was first transitioning to life as a mom!
"Prepping for our first camping trip next weekend!"
Thanks to WildKind for this awesome program to help me feel more prepared to go camping with a baby.

Heather here.
Your Instructor and Co-founder of WildKind
I’ve spent the past decade writing for the outdoor industry, evaluating the best family gear out there for publications like Backpacker and REI. I've also spent over 250 nights in a tent along with many multi-day backpacking trips with our daughter. My motto? Sh*t happens. And when it does, you better be prepped to figure it out--and pack it out.
Brooke out there.
Content Development and Co-Founder of WildKind
Scaling mountains by foot and crunching gravel by wheel as a single-mother in the outdoor industry forged my path as an adventure content creator working with brands like Merrell, Nordica, GoPro, Reima, Specialized, and Thule. Most likely place to find me? Gobbling up some Taco Bell after a long day on the trail chasing my two kiddos (with #3 on the way!)
You have questions, we have answers.
-
How does the course work for different climates and terrains?
We’re going to equip you with the basics that can be built upon for any environment you might encounter in the US.
-
Can you help me figure out how to camp minimally with a baby?
Yes. That is exactly what this course is designed for. We’ve heard from a lot of our WildKind family that you want to use camping as a gateway to backpacking with your kids. We’re going to keep things streamlined and versatile but give you options for more home comforts if you’re just starting out and sticking close to your car.
-
How can I get my baby to sleep in a tent?
Spoiler alert: we can give you all the tips and tricks we have and they still might not get your baby to sleep in a tent as well as they do at home. The more you practice, the better things will get, but you need to be on board for a bit of trial and error here. And believe us, it’s worth a few nights of bad sleep to get back to the adventures that you love.
Not sure if Camping with Kids is right for you?
This course is perfect for...
-
Anyone who wants a shortcut to dispersed camping with their kiddo and wants to feel more confident and secure on that adventure.
-
Experienced campers and those who will be pitching a tent for the first time. There is no prerequisite for building and sharing memories with your little one in the outdoors.
-
Someone who tried dispersed camping with their baby and didn’t have success but wants to try again.
-
There are solutions in this course to tackle the most common challenges parents face. And, if we haven’t covered one of your questions in the course, Brooke and I will happily help you troubleshoot.
Camping with Kids
The fastest and easiest way for parents to get outdoors by eliminating time-consuming research and arming them with strategies to make packing and prep a breeze.
