Andrew G. ★★★★★

My kids have been obsessed with learning how to build a proper campfire and beach shelter since we got this book. It's packed with clear, inspiring activities that actually get them away from screens and exploring outdoors.

Sophia ★★★★★

The sand art and seaside mosaic projects kept my kids busy for two full afternoons, which is basically a miracle. I also appreciated how the campfire and shelter sections emphasized doing things safely and responsibly without making it feel like a lecture.

Madison N. ★★★★★

I grabbed this before our first trip with the kids and the campfire and shelter-building sections alone were worth it. My seven-year-old actually put the sand mosaic ideas to use instead of just complaining about the sun.
