Fun things to do
The real joy of camping is not just about putting
up tents and cooking on a fire. Living outside is a
transformatory experience, and a healthy one too.
You'll sleep better, assuming your bed is comfortable,
and you'll lose weight. Most of all you'll have the
chance to do a whole range of fun things you may
never have tried before. Saving money by camping
means there may be funds left over to try an
outdoor sport you've always liked, anything from
rock climbing to white-water rafting. Backpacking is
a way to understand a landscape more fully than
you ever have before. Mostly, camping is a way to
slow down, and take some time to look around.
Here are some other fun things to do:
• Birdwatching
• Identifying flowers or insects
• Fishing
• Hide and seek
• Kite flying
• Ball games
• Photography
• Stories around the campfire
• Tracking animals
• Treasure hunts
• Tree climbing
• Yoga
Kick a ball around together
on the beach. Inexpensive,
good clean fun.
