Camping is something that we as humans need to do more to reconnect. I write “reconnect” simply because being out on the open fields was something we used to do much more before we had technology, wasn’t it? We have still a natural affinity for the outdoors, just keep in mind certain aspects of how to get out there properly.

To kids, camping is a fun opportunity to get out of the house and have a blast. And certainly, a blast they can have, but only if properly instructed on how to go about camping, otherwise, chaos ensues. Teach the children all there’s to know about camping and prepare them to learn how to fend for themselves.
