So here are some tips to enjoying the outdoors with your little soldiers.
1. Get used to the family tent.
Try a ‘make a tent’ session with your kids in your backyard. This will help your kids know the nuances of living outdoors.

2. Don’t be ambitious.
Plan your days for short hikes and plenty of time on either end. Learn from your kid as he stops for hours to admire a rock or a bug—at least he is living in the moment! So why can’t you?

3. Toys and books are key.
End your hiking day sitting on a rock by a river admiring the sublime sunset or reciting a poem to your kid or help your child end his days pushing dirt around in toy dump truck and put him to sleep to his favorite stories. So pack some books and toys.

4. A cool water bottle helps with hydration.
Find a cool water bottle in bright colors and emblazoned with your child’s favorite cartoon character to encourage him to hydrate.

5. Kids love company.
Adults are useful when it comes to things like carrying you and feeding you and reading you books. But when it comes to throwing rocks in a river or playing with plastic dinosaurs, other kids are more fun. Make family time quality time by traveling in a pack with other families with kids.

6. Stay low.
Alpine and mountains are majestic, but depending on their altitude, can be dangerous to your child. Children are more susceptible to altitude-related illnesses, so if you can, stay under 10,000 feet.

7. Bring yummy snacks.
When you backpack, food is fuel. Kids are as picky in outdoors as they are at home,so pack some fun snacks like yummy sandwiches, fruit tarts and animal crackers.
8. Pack an extra layer—your kid’s favourite costume.
The most technical fleece and down layers might keep him warm, but don’t help him hike any faster. But donning a Batman costume, suddenly transforms the kid into a super hero, leaping from rock to rock and flying uphill with the aid of his grappling hook. It’s cheap and lightweight, so pack a costume if your kid is into that thing.
