Everyone Should go Camping – at least twice

I’m a Scout Leader so I typically go camping around 12 times a year or more.

Reasons everyone should try camping at least twice (in case the first time is a disaster!). A few of the many reasons are:

1. It’s a low cost way of staying/visiting/travelling
2. It’s a great way to get close to nature and spend time outside
3. It develops self sufficiency
4. It should be sustainable – follow the basic principle of leave no trace
5. It’s fun – if you have the right mindset
6. You make great friends (if you are not camping alone, or if you are camping on a campsite)
7. You gain confidence and camping creates an opportunity to learn about yourself

Some of my strongest memories are around camping trips. I love it!
