Discovery Channel’s Josh Bernstein’s Camping Tips & Survival Kit *Giveaway*

My son has been begging to go camping. Begging, as in .. on his knees begging! We may not be able to go out in the wilderness and camp out, but we will for sure be doing some family back yard camping this summer.

benadryl-logoDiscovery Channel’s Josh Bernstein’s recently teamed up with Benadryl and the National Park Foundation to encourage friends and family to enjoy great outdoor moments.

With the struggling economy, we are all certainly looking for ways to cut back on their spending. However, this doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy a family vacation this year. Camping is an affordable and convenient option for family bonding – for as little as $10 a night, a family can camp out at one of several National Parks.

Josh suggests the following tips for enjoying the outdoors and helping to keep your family camping trip fun and incident-free.

  • Select the Perfect Campground – Whether it’s a national park or your own backyard, choose a fun and unique location that suits your needs, budget and skill level.
  • Know Your Surroundings – Where you set up camp could make or break your experience. Make sure your tent is on elevated ground in case of rain. Check whether there is a nearby water source and find an adequate cooking spot.
  • Pack Essentials – Don’t forget necessities such as water and a flashlight, as well as a first aid kit and any medication you may need. For people with allergies, this probably means an allergy medication that can help relieve the symptoms of an unexpected allergy attack. Just as you would at home, keep all medicines and first aid supplies out of reach of the kids.
  • Test Gear – If it’s your first time camping or if you’ve bought new equipment, be sure to test it before your trip. You don’t want to arrive at the campsite only to find your lantern doesn’t work or realize you’re missing a tent pole.
  • Clean Up – We all love the outdoors and we want to make sure that these places remain vital in our lifetime and for our children and grandchildren. A good rule of thumb is to leave trails and campsites better than when you found them by collecting and properly disposing of your trash and any trash you find along the way.

The makers of BENADRYL® and the National Park Foundation are working together to protect moments outdoors – moments you wouldn’t want to miss due to allergies. That’s why the makers of BENADRYL® are donating $200,000 to the NPF. In addition, until June 15th, a $1 donation will be made each time someone visits www.BenadrylMoments.com and enters a unique promotion code found on specially marked packages of BENADRYL® (minimum donation $50,000/maximum donation $100,000).[1] Consumers are also encouraged to visit www.BenadrylMoments.com where they can pledge to enjoy a moment outdoors.
