What's In This Book?

Parents who never camped as children may wish to try it but feel a little reluctant to undertake a new activity that seems so demanding. That's where Camping With Kids comes in. I reached out to more than 100 individuals, parents and kids of all ages, to learn how they camped and what they thought about it. Based on their responses, this book will take you, step by step, through the decisions you need to make in order to create your own extraordinary camping experience and cherished family memories.
