The in laws
I'm taking my sister in law and her boys(2 and 4) camping for their first time. Other than the usual hunting for "cool rocks" and fishing with no hook what are some fun things to keep the kiddos bus...

Give one a cheap metal detector and the other a plastic shovel. Throw a couple coins in the sand or grass when they aren't watching and let 'em loose.
That was what I was going to say! We still pack around a whole bin of cheap sand toys for whatever kids are coming along. Makes me a little sad that my only kid is almost 17 now. We started out camping with him as an infant and still have a few of his original toys that come with us on every trip! WE also have a whole cupboard full of board games. It is about the only time we get to play.
I also second getting him to help set up and tear down. Have him ope n and close slides, push the button for the jacks and turn on the water. Gives them a sense of accomplishment.
Glad you all had a great time, hope it is the first of many!!
