Pack a bag of crayons and head outdoors—on paper. This free camping set follows one sunny-to-starry day for kids ages 6–9: pitch the tent, roast marshmallows, paddle the lake, then settle in with a lantern under the moon.
Print the whole trip as a mini book, color one scene tonight, or remix the prompts into your own camping adventure (with or without a cover).
Decorative kids coloring book front cover in cheerful cartoon style with clean black outlines and flat fills: forest green, sky blue, sunshine yellow, campfire orange, sandy tan. Center scene: a tent beside a calm lake, with a small stone-ring campfire in front; a canoe rests near the shoreline with a paddle nearby. Pine trees frame left and right, reeds and a few lily pads at the water’s edge, gentle water ripples. Add a few fireflies floating around and a simple night-sky corner with stars and a crescent moon, leaving open space for text. Ornamental border of pine boughs, tiny stars, and simple camping icons (marshmallow on a stick, lantern, small stones). Prominent playful title lettering at top reads exactly: "Camping Summer Fun".
Morning energy beside the lake—stakes, cooler, sleeping bags, and pines framing the shore. A clear “we’re here!” moment.
Page 1: Pitching the Tent.
Prompt we used (page 1 — Pitching the Tent)
Cheerful cartoon style, moderate detail. A family putting up a tent beside a calm lake in the foreground, full-body figures working together. Pine trees frame the campsite on left and right, with the lake stretching behind them. One cooler sits near the tent, and a few rolled sleeping bags are grouped nearby. Simple grassy ground, a few scattered stones, and a clear shoreline; balanced composition with open sky space.
Color tip: Forest greens and a bright tent color help the campsite pop.
Kids around a small stone-ring fire, roasting marshmallows while fireflies drift by. Warm, social, and still readable.
Page 2: Marshmallow Night.
Prompt we used (page 2 — Marshmallow Night)
Cheerful cartoon style, moderate detail. Children sitting and standing around a small stone-ring campfire in the foreground, roasting marshmallows on sticks, smiling faces. A tent is behind them in the midground, slightly to one side. A few pine trees are scattered in the background, with several fireflies floating around the scene. Simple nighttime sky with a few stars; grouped composition centered on the campfire.
Color tip: Leave some marshmallows white and toast others golden—kids love that choice.
Two paddlers on calm water with reeds, lily pads, and a watching heron. Plenty of open sky and water to color.
Page 3: Canoe on the Lake.
Prompt we used (page 3 — Canoe on the Lake)
Cheerful cartoon style, moderate detail. Two children paddling a canoe on a calm summer lake, three-quarter side view, canoe centered. Reeds and lily pads cluster near the foreground shoreline. Distant hills sit low on the horizon in the background. One heron stands near the reeds to the right, watching the canoe. Gentle water ripples and a few clouds; balanced open space around the canoe.
Color tip: Soft blues and greens keep this page peaceful after the campfire scene.
Night settles in: a lantern by the tent flap, a crescent moon, and a tiny owl on a branch. A gentle ending to the trip.
Page 4: Lantern by the Tent.
Prompt we used (page 4 — Lantern by the Tent)
Cheerful cartoon style, moderate detail. A tent at night centered in the scene, with a lantern placed outside near the entrance, casting simple rays. Crescent moon high in the sky with a few simple constellations made of small stars. Pine trees at the edges frame the campsite. A tiny owl perched on a branch on the right side, looking toward the tent. Light ground details like a small path and scattered pebbles; calm, uncluttered background.
Color tip: Deep blues with a warm lantern glow make a satisfying last page.
Copy a prompt, keep kids-medium detail and vertical pages, then tweak one camping detail—add a dog by the tent, swap the canoe for a kayak, or move the trip to autumn leaves.
