Trip Packs
Print-ready trip plans, scaled to your family.
Each Trip Pack is a complete, printable plan for one of our four pacing archetypes — timeline, gear set, packing list, meal plan, kid activities, and the mistakes most beginners make.
Built around four scenarios that match how families actually start camping. Pick the one that matches where you are, and you get a complete weekend instead of a reading list.
