I like most everything about camping. I especially remember with fondness sitting around the campfire with my family, singing campfire songs and hymns until the fire burned out and it was time to go to bed.

Best thing about camping is getting away and being in nature. Love being disconnected from the world for a few days, with no cell service, etc.

This brings back memories. I miss the days when I spent as much time as possible in the woods or the mountains. I always hated coming out of the wilds at the end of summer to go back to school.

As an adult, my most memorable trip was a pack trip with llamas. It was nice to have them carry the gear. We camped both above and below the tree line. On top of the mountains we could see forever. Unfortunately, we saw a forest fire that was eating up Glacier Nation Park. Fire does have it’s place in the wilderness. It is interesting to watch the different eco systems the land goes through as the plants grow back.

When my boys were growing up we went on lots of camping trips. Each could bring a favorite toy. I brought a doll for myself. Make believe adventures were an important part of the fun. The campfire. The stars. Now my son camps in the backyard with his little boys. I “camp” in the VBS classroom with my dolls. This too is part of the story.

My favorite part about camping is the family gathering at the fire eating and talking. The whole family meets up once each year to camp so it’s fun to catch up.

I’d stay forever. Each day I’d find something new in the forest. It would feel like an endless vacation. The clothes and equipment for camping….I don’t need a lot. But the clothes would all be comfortable. The. Backpacks, tools, freedom would be great for my doll. Sleeping in a tent would be grand. I also could take my water toys into the lake and stay all day. I love to fish!!!

We love hiking and sitting by the fire with our daughters! We find that it makes them more open with us (they’re teenagers). There’s nothing better than walking side by side or snuggling with them while they talk about their lives.

My favorite part of camping is the cooking out and sharing stories around the campfire. We had a blast when I was a kid. Friends of our parents would take the 4 of us, along with their 4 children and camp at a local state park for a weekend every year. We learned a lot about camping and swimming and keeping nature the way it should naturally be. I miss those days. Thank you for the great patterns and ideas and the opportunity to win things.

What wonderful memories! Our family never missed a summer camping in the eastern Sierras (California) in the late summer from when we were first married to just a few years ago. We hiked every trail and fished every lake and stream. There is nothing like fresh trout dipped in flour, egg and cornmeal fried in bacon fat and served with fried potato slices! In addition, our 3 boys learned many problem-solving lessons along the way

When we lived in Anchorage, AK we went camping every chance we could get out of the city and go fishing. Now that we live in a rural area of WI we just have to step out the door to be in God’s beautiful nature. COVID 19 quarantine and social distancing has not been a hardship on us. It’s just like camping with perks. Miss the kid’s and grandkids though.

My family isn’t very outdoorsy. We only went camping a handful of times, and yet the trips were extremely memorable because we spent so much time together, so close together. So my favorite part is the sense of family togetherness. We still joke about funny things that happened on those trips. Even when things went unpleasantly wrong, we ended up laughing about it and remembering it fondly.

Camping is a time of solitude with family, friends and your fav pet buddy! Listening to absolutely nothing but nature. Hiking and biking thru the woods and open fields as the sun shines down upon you. Enjoying the fresh air as you take in the day! Smelling the campfire as the day winds down. Supper prepared, cooked, eaten and everything cleaned up. Relaxing under the stars before turning in. That’s what life is about!
