You promised you would take the children camping, so you must keep your word.

I cannot understand "take the children camping". Is there anything wrong with "take sb. doing"?

Thanks

If you would take the children champing, it meant that you would go camping with the children, especially guiding or leading them to the place where you were camping.

Another example:

I'm taking the kids swimming later.
