What this puzzle is about
Camping Trip is a medium word search packed with the essentials of a campout. Ten words are hidden in a 14 × 14 grid: the TENT, the CAMP, and the FIRE, a LANTERN and a FLASK, a MAP and a COMPASS, the TRAIL through the WOODS, and the STARS overhead. Words run in straight lines in any of eight directions, including backward and diagonally.
Who it suits
With ten words in a 14 × 14 grid, it is a longer hunt than our easy boards, yet the words are short and familiar. It suits older kids, scout and camp groups, adults, and anyone who loves the outdoors. It pairs well with The Forest Camp logic grid and can be played online or printed.
How to start
Start with LANTERN or COMPASS. FLASK is the only word with a K, and WOODS the only word with a W, so those letters are fast leads. Leave MAP for last: three-letter words hide easily, so look for each M and check its neighbors for an A.
About the words
LANTERN and COMPASS tie for longest at seven letters. MAP is the shortest, at three. Two words have double letters: WOODS (OO) and COMPASS (SS). CAMP and COMPASS both start with C and contain an M and a P, so do not mix them up.
