If you don t have a tent, make one by stringing blankets over a clothesline. Toast marshmallows and make smores. Tell ghost stories. Take your flashlights and go on a night hike through the yard or around the block. Spend the night in your tent, or in the comfort of your own beds.
Schools have field trips involving tours of factories and other points of interest.
A few quick phone calls will turn up many opportunities to arrange tours at area facilities. If a group is required, get together with a couple of other families. Tour the local candy or soft drink factory, a dam, or go behind the scenes where the newspaper is printed. You might be surprised at how many companies are happy to cooperate. With luck, you might even get free samples.
