Camping is great for family bonding. Try a few days in the woods without any electronics for a time that the family learns to communicate and gets to know each other once again.

Camping can be a lot of work, but is also a lot of fun. Cooking over a campfire or even with a camp stove is quite different than using the microwave at home. Perhaps you will discover the great taste of real food cooked over a real fire once again. When you finish, you will be reminded that there is no dishwasher at your campsite, so you will have to wash all dishes that are not disposable by hand.

The good news is that without electronics, you will have lots of time that you can use for nature walks or to go to see the ranger’s nightly shows. Take time to view all the wildlife as well as flowers that bloom along the path. Be sure that you breathe in all the fresh air you can.

The evenings, after the dinner dishes have been cleaned is a perfect time for playing your favorite games or for long talks.

If this sounds like a great time for you, then stop reading this article right now and go make your campsite reservations before they are all gone. Do not waste any more time.

Now for the rest of you. I am glad you stayed while we weeded those people out. If you have made it this far, here is great news. Do not leave the electronics at home. You need your stuff. Pay a little extra for a campsite with electrical hookups to keep everything charged. Check at the campsite to see if cable television is available and bring a small set. Insist that your sight have wifi available so that you can stay connected with the rest or the world.

When that you hear the first group walking by on their nature walk, quickly stash everything in the tent, use a stick to poke at your campfire, smile and wave. They will keep going and you can get back to life.
