Camping Themed Party

Since my children were very little I've always put tents up inside our home for them to enjoy. It was and still is their favourite pastime. Their tents served as play forts, reading nooks, napping spots, doll houses, nerf huts, change rooms, movie nights, time out corners, and always made for the best sleep overs!

We often visit a gem of a campsite called Fisherman's Cove in Kincardine, ON. The kids have amazing memories there. When Madena asked for a camping party for her 6th birthday (2018) I was giddy with excitement! "You are our greatest adventure" felt fitting at her age. Attaching her sign to the teepee structure turned it into the centrepiece. 

My favorite part about this party was the cake. The details were everything! Like seriously how stinking adorable did this turn out? Her and I made it together. We melted lifesavers in the oven to make the flames, rock candy around the border, Oreo crumbs as dirt, chocolate wafers as logs and mini skewers for our structure. Mini smore pudding cups, "campfire snacks", and rock bingo adding to the rustic cozy vibe.

Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for me to have tents set up outdoors and stores over the fire- however the oven did just fine! The kids had a blast!
