Earth-Friendly Camping Picks

Are you and the little ones planning a camping trip this summer?  Check out our favorite product picks for spending a day in the woods and a night under the stars.

• Sun care. It’s always important to keep your skin protected while outdoors, especially during the long, hot summer days.  MelanSol sunscreen is an all-natural, chemical-free, and biodegradable SPF that will keep you and your kiddies protected under the strongest of sun rays.
• Footwear. You’ll want your feet to stay nice and comfy while trottin’ the trails.  Sneakers may be too constricting in this heat, so try a comfy, sturdy pair of sandals like Birkenstocks, crafted simply from leather, cork, and a couple of buckles.  Kids will be big fans of the Roma style, which features an ankle strap for extra support.
• Food Supplies. After all the hiking and rafting, you and the kids are sure to work up an appetite.  There’s no better way for some family togetherness time than a barbeque–but supplies are needed for that.  Eco-products offers a line of sustainable products including hot/cold cups, containers, cutlery, straws, and bio-bags.  Easy to tote around and affordable!
• Direction. You want to find the best trails to hike, so what’s more important than a compass and map to guide you on your route?  Eco-Wise offers a combination compass and map navigator to keep you on your path.  Filled with illustrations and diagrams, this is a must-have for campers.
• Bath & Body. With all this rugged outdoors time, you will need to wipe the dirt and musk off!  With an all-in-one natural soap, you can wash your a hair and body while minimizing the amount of product you have to carry.  Dr. Bronner’s “All in One” is an organic line of liquid and bar soaps that effectively clean without being aggressive on your hair and skin.
