The joys of camping

Whether you opt for a tent,
tent trailer or RV, nothing
beats a camping trip for get-
ting away from the daily rou-
tine and trea ting yourself to an
unforgettable vacation. You’ll
get some clean air, nature,
fun acti vities and maybe even
a few new friends; it’s every-
thing you could ever need to
have a great time.
Camping and the great
outdoors are a winning com-
bination. Campgrounds offer
a wide range of activities that
allow you to enjoy Mother
Nature as well as the warm
weather: swimming, tennis,
shuffleboard, boat or bike
rentals, mini-golf, hiking,
beach volleyball, soccer and
the list goes on. Most camp-
grounds also have playgrounds
where the kids can have fun
and forge new friendships.
You’ll even have things to
do on rainy days, as arcade
games, pool and bingo are of-
ten on the menu. Don’t forget
your waterproof boots, so all
the family can still go hiking
even if the weather’s grey and
rainy. The kids will be thrilled!
Pic nics are also one of the
small pleasures of camping;
whet her you cook over a fire
or just enjoy some sandwiches
sitting around the picnic table
or on a blanket, food al ways
tastes better in the fresh air.
End the day on a perfect
note by gathering family and
friends around a campfire af-
ter the sun has set. After all,
what would a camping trip be
without eating roasted mar sh-
mallows? Take the opportuni-
ty to sing your favourite songs,
tell your most outlandish sto-
ries or relive some great family
memories. Lots of fun, guar-
anteed.
