The Camping Trip


Book Description

Ernestine has never been camping before, but she’s sure it will be lots of fun . . . won’t it? An endearing story about a girl’s first experience with the great outdoors. My aunt Jackie invited me to go camping with her and my cousin Samantha this weekend. I’ve never been camping before, but I know I will love it. Ernestine is beyond excited to go camping. She follows the packing list carefully (new sleeping bag! new flashlight! special trail mix made with Dad!) so she knows she is ready when the weekend arrives. But she quickly realizes that nothing could have prepared her for how hard it is to set up a tent, never mind fall asleep in it, or that swimming in a lake means that there will be fish — eep! Will Ernestine be able to enjoy the wilderness, or will it prove to be a bit too far out of her comfort zone? In an energetic illustrated story about a first sleepover under the stars, acclaimed author-illustrator Jennifer K. Mann reminds us that opening your mind to new experiences, no matter how challenging, can lead to great memories (and a newfound taste for s’mores).




Homesick and Happy


Book Description

An insightful and powerful look at the magic of summer camp—and why it is so important for children to be away from home . . . if only for a little while. In an age when it’s the rare child who walks to school on his own, the thought of sending your “little ones” off to sleep-away camp can be overwhelming—for you and for them. But parents’ first instinct—to shelter their offspring above all else—is actually depriving kids of the major developmental milestones that occur through letting them go—and watching them come back transformed. In Homesick and Happy, renowned child psychologist Michael Thompson, PhD, shares a strong argument for, and a vital guide to, this brief loosening of ties. A great champion of summer camp, he explains how camp ushers your children into a thrilling world offering an environment that most of us at home cannot: an electronics-free zone, a multigenerational community, meaningful daily rituals like group meals and cabin clean-up, and a place where time simply slows down. In the buggy woods, icy swims, campfire sing-alongs, and daring adventures, children have emotionally significant and character-building experiences; they often grow in ways that surprise even themselves; they make lifelong memories and cherished friends. Thompson shows how children who are away from their parents can be both homesick and happy, scared and successful, anxious and exuberant. When kids go to camp—for a week, a month, or the whole summer—they can experience some of the greatest maturation of their lives, and return more independent, strong, and healthy.




How to Have Happy Camping Vacation


Book Description

Taking the whole family out for camping is lot of fun. As a kid, my parents took me for camping throughout the length of the Eastern Seaboard. Spending time on the huge Atlantic Ocean as well as innumerable little water bodies, and even on the St. Lawrence Seaway was great fun. Not only this, we also paid a visit to many of the states in the U.S. and provinces of Canada. My family is not that rich to afford all the luxuries but if we could go out for this exotic vacation, we owe that to camping. For all those who haven't given camping a thought, these reasons should be sufficient for you to consider it once.The sole purpose why family camping is becoming popular by the day is that it is very cheap. Camping can bring down expenses on food and lodging by a big margin. To add to it, many camping grounds provide free or cheap means of recreation and entertainment facilities.For those busy with the hectic life at home, camping is a time to relish as it brings the entire family together to spend quality time with. Most of the family holiday plans by the tourism industry offers destinations with targets the kids and parents mainly, so the entire family is barred from being close to each other. A primary reason for families to venture out together is to enjoy by burying their actual busy life for the time being, and camping is a better way to do it than most of the so-called family plans.Also, camping will generate innumerable memories in the child's mind that he will carry with him till old-age. The experience of it on account of games, adventures, etc. will help you understand yourself and your child, and besides bringing the two closer, it will give birth to memories that can be cherished for life. Location for camping with the family may either be close to the home or at a distant place, but spending quality time with the family without any modern distractions will help develop the bond of the family.
