What are you doing this summer with your family? You might be thinking Europe? How bout Disney World? You might even envision yourself out camping with the family where man and nature meet
So what do the experts say to the newcomers of camping. Keep it small and start in your own back yard.
Cookouts are a great way to start. Learn how to build fires, roast marshmallows and cook over the coals, no gas grills here. Once you feel comfortable making a fire and cooking try going to a local park to cook at one of the picnic areas. If you are not enjoying this part of camping you may want to back out and come up with plan B.
So you now can cook over a flame Next you need to feel comfortable sleeping on the ground out in nature. Why not practice in your back yard. This way you will become accustomed to hearing bugs and birds. The best part is if you have forgotten anything its much easier to get it from your house when your just in the back yard.
Once you feel comfortable to hit the county do it some one close to home, so say the experts. Go beforehand and check out the spot, maybe just have lunch and fish then return home. This way you will be getting ready for the big day, out in nature.
OK, you are ready, you have taken baby steps to get to this point and all along the way you have been spending time with your family. Again lets do our practice near home.You may even want to scout out the area before hand to feel more comfortable.
Many parents try this and decide that camping is not for them and yet they still wish for their children to have the opportunity to get out into nature. Kids Summer Campsare a wonderful place for kids to get a taste of nature and make new friends. Plus they offer parents a time to do a few of those other trips and summer plans they have been thinking of for the past many years.
