If you’re like most kids who love the outdoors, you
want to do more than go on picnics or hike a nature
trail. You don’t want to go home at the end of the
day. You want to stay out in the woods, mountains,
or desert. You want to camp.
By reading this book, you’ll learn how to make
roughing it easy. You’ll find great tips for choosing
the best campsite and setting up your home away
from home. You’ll even find recipes for great
fireside dishes.
This book is filled with things for you to do.
For some of them, you'll need an adult's help.
Try them all if you can! The better you get
at your camping skills, the more fun you’ll have
on your camping adventure.
So read the tips, practice at home before
you go, then head for the great outdoors.
Happy camping!
