Why Go Camping?
Nowadays, everyone we know is running around chasing the next big thing. Whether we are trying to get the next big promotion or buying things we don’t need, all of this can be a distraction from what’s important.
Camping is about getting away from the fast-paced life. Away from technology and the hustle and bustle of daily life, going back to the outdoors can energise us. Not to mention, it’s fun!
Camping is an opportunity to enjoy the company of one another; to tell stories beside a campfire, sing songs, play games, and just be present. Being outside and camping is one of the best things anyone can do to improve one’s health or just slow things down.
