[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just did the training part of the camping class -- next is the hands-on part (i.e. going camping overnight).  I tried to have an open mind and hoped that it would seem more fun once I learned about it... but actually, it's just the opposite.  Camping seems like a TON of prep and a lot of work and inconvenience and I still don't understand what the fun part is (if there is one).  Why not just do out for a day hike, cook up some hotdogs and go home?  All the work/prep/inconvenience -- seems to undermine the idea of fun.  [/quote]

It is a lot of work, no doubt.  But there is nothing quite like it, in our opinion, when it comes to recharging.  Something about being outside all the time in nature and living in the moment.  With or without kids, nothing compares.  The kids absolutely love it because they can go all over the campground on their bikes or scooters, meet new friends, play with whatever they find around the campsite, or take small hikes on the trails around our campsite.  For us, just sitting watching raindrops fall on grass leaves can be so relaxing, though my husband likes to fish and we all like to mountain bike, swim and hike.  I guess we could just go home at the end of the day, but that would numb the effect, I think.  And we like to go for at least three nights, to make all the work worth it and to really be able decompress.[/quote]
