These are nouns: family, camp, clearing, woods, parents, tent, children, surroundings, path, lake, boats, beach, and vacation
These are verbs: gathered, explore.
To trk: some of your answers are wrong.
EDIT: Joanna. I can see where clearing could be a verb, but in this context I believe it's a noun. A clearing is a patch in the woods where there are no trees. Also, surroundings is definately a noun. My surroundings, your surroundings, his/her surroundings. Surround is a verb, and surrounding is too. But with an "s" it means the physical objects around you.
"He" is a pronoun, along with, "she, it, I, you, him, her, they, we, us, them, and you (plural)"

Well you sorta answered your own question. A noun is a person, place, or thing. For example, cousin is a noun because he/she is a person, a country is a noun because it's a place, and a pencil is a noun because it's a thing.
Family=yes
Camp=yes
Clearing=no(it's a verb)
Woods=yes
Parents=yes
Tent=yes
Children=yes
Gathered=no(it's a verb)
Explore=no(it's a verb)
Surroundings=yes
Path=yes
Lake=yes
Boats=yes
Beach=yes
Vacation=yes
All of them were nouns except a few because those ones were verbs because you can clear, you can gather, and you can explore. He is a pronoun and out is a prepostion.

Family - yes
camp - yes/no, depends on context
clearing - no
woods - yes
parents - yes
tent- yes
children - yes
gathered - no
explore - no
surroundings - I want to say yes, but no.
path - yes
lake- yes
boats - yes
beach - yes
vacation - yes, but can be a verb
EDIT: I believe that he is an adjective, as is out because they are describing things... I'm not totally positive though. Hope I helped!
