According to Boomer Magazine, “grampa-ing" allows grandparents to spend quality time with their grandchildren and is much different from typical multigenerational family holidays.
Also being deemed as "Skip Gen" holidays, it can have massive benefits to each person's life.
For this, the details are down to either your parents or in-laws. It allows them to tailor the trip to their own liking, ensuring they are fit enough for each activity while also allowing you to get a break from the kids.
Unlike the name suggests, the trip doesn't actually need to be a camping one – but that's not to say you can't do that either if that's what your family are into.
For younger children, the best idea is to go away for a shorter period of time and somewhere more local, incase there is an incident of some kind or they get homesick.
For children who are older, there are a lot more options. This can include further across the country, aboard, or even active trips like skiing or surfing.
It's important to remember that with this, it is only a success if you are ready to be away from your children for a small amount of time. It's also important to remember that grandparents have the same interests as you when it comes to your child's welfare, and they know what they're doing when it comes to taking care of children.
