Childhood Camping Stories of Why :

According to Exploring Early Twenty-First Century Developed Forest Camping Experiences and Meanings, a study conducted in partnership with the US Department of Forestry, Americans love camping as much as ever. With new amenities and technology, camping continues to be a “way to comfortably contact and explore nature and to satisfy important human needs for personal restoration and social bonding.”

In fact, now more so than ever, camping can be the perfect “catalyst for bringing family members together who may otherwise be separated by the 21st-century life.”

Research conducted in the Czech Republic pointed to camping strengthening family bonds. “Camping is one way for a family to interact, grow, learn, and develop in a natural environment. The act of living outdoors allows room for the family members to relate to one another in a way that recalls an earlier and simpler era.”

Not only is camping beneficial for the family, teamwork, scheduling, career entity, but it is also an opportunity for personal growth in both children and adults. “During this leisure time of camping, it is possible to engage in many activities, such as sports, games, campfires, swimming, and writing in one's journal, the outputs of which should be seen as informal learning.” Helps clear the mind and get focused to make major career goals !

Whether you're continuing a family tradition or starting a new one, camping is an excellent way to bring your family together.

Growing up, my family was always planning our next camping adventure. My parents hauled our family of four all over the country during our youth, from squishing together in a single tent, in a hand-me-down pop-up camper, or driving out to Mexico in a old truck and rundown camper,

Camping with your family has its ups and downs – it comes with the territory. Something is always bound to go wrong. I remember raccoons eating all the food we had packed because my brother didn't latch the cooler correctly. I remember hiking Caliente NV and getting caught in a torrential downpour where we had no choice but to keep going and get soaked to the bone.

What's great about family trips (camping in particular) is that even if things don't go entirely as planned, years later, everyone looks back on the camping trip fondly. And the parts that were not-so-great at the time are the parts that everyone remembers best.

There's something special about exploring new places with your family that gives everyone a shared sense of wonder and excitement. I'm so grateful for these shared happy memories with my family, and I'm thankful that I learned to explore and appreciate nature from a young age – even if things don't go according to plan!
