Let’s face it - city living is often not the best lifestyle for families. You have work, the kids have school, and when everyone’s at home, they’re usually glued to a screen of some sort. What better way to unwind, get away from the rat race and renew family bonds than with some camping?
The silence, nature, hikes and other activities – they all help to remove you and your family from the distractions of modern life and bring you closer together. However, camping is not only good for the family as a unit, but it’s also great for your children’s development. An entire generation is now growing up without any connection to nature. The really terrible thing is that they mostly aren’t even aware of what they are missing out on. Looking up and seeing the stars in their full glory. Taking them out into the wilderness once in a while is giving them a gift they may not appreciate at first, but will be thankful for later.
Camping is an adventure, a not-too-uncomfortable step outside of their comfort zone. Even if you’re sleeping in a homely RV, rather than roughing it under the stars, there is that sense of being removed from the luxuries of daily life. This builds resilience and a sense of adventure, as well as strengthen family bonds.
With the exploration and the removal from electronic distractions, camping also fosters children’s creativity. You can encourage them to think more for themselves, discover the world around them and come up with ways to keep themselves occupied.
So, if you’re trying to think up a vacation option that you can take the family on regularly, look no further than camping. All you need is a great, family-sized RV to explore this country’s wide-open spaces. Think along the lines of a Keystone Cougar half-ton or a Premier Travel trailer, for instance.
