Include safe physical activities

Camping is a great opportunity to get some physical activity. Do things to keep you active during your camping trip, such as walking, hiking, biking, or swimming. Be sure to bring protective gear, such as helmets, sturdy shoes, and life jackets. Avoid poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. Know your limits, and take steps to avoid injury during activities. Never hike or swim alone. Watch kids closely. Adults should get 30 minutes and children and adolescents should get 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most days of the week.
