7 reasons why you should go camping with your kids —
cooking over a Coleman stove, peeing in the woods—and I loved it.
Those of you who know me well are likely a bit surprised to hear me use the words “love” and “camping” in the same sentence. Until recently, I’ve never really been that keen on hauling all my stuff out into nature. What was the point, when I had a perfectly good house, with a perfectly good kitchen and bed and bathroom already in it?
We took Rowan camping once he was a toddler, to a music festival. I’d been so excited to see some of the musical acts, but what I remember is trying to catch the faraway strains of Sarah McLachlan playing to an adoring crowd, as Rachel and I desperately tried to get our son to sleep. We finally got him down, in a portable crib on the other side of the enormous tent we’d purchased precisely so that we could camp with kids.
But now Rowan is older. And he has a brother. And I’m discovering that camping is pretty much my favourite way to vacation with my kids. In no particular order, here’s why:We shared our site with friends, who have two boys the same age as ours. Even if we hadn’t, though, the entire campground was teeming with children, whofor hours and hours while the adults got to do things like HAVE CONVERSATIONS and READ NOVELS .
At the end of every day, all four of us crawled into the tent together and fell asleep, the kids cuddled up on either side of me and Rachel. And while I’m happy to be back in my own bed once more, it was pretty sweet to fall asleep holding hands.
