Whether your child is heading to summer camp, going on a family trip to a campground, becoming a responsible camp couselor, or just pitching a tent out in the backyard, the camping experience is a very rewarding, fun part of summer. Between making new friends, going on new adventures, and having a blast trying new activities in nature, your child will be making long-lasting summer memories.
