What Camping Can Do For You

Have you ever been on a camping trip with your family? Most people say yes ,and along with saying yes they have a great story to go along with it. Some funny , Some Scary..well there is basically every kind of story under the sun to tell about camping.

Ever since I can remember my family and i have gone camping 2 weeks every summer. I love Camping , my whole life I have been a nature enthusiast and I like how Ontario parks and other camping and conservation authorities protect the wild life and let people see the true beauty of nature.

Once summer comes around in Canada I find it difficult to understand why people need to travel so far from Ontario , spending thousands of dollars when we have such a beautiful place to be right here in our own backyards. There are so many things do do in Ontario Parks, some of my favourite things dodo are, go kayaking , canoeing, fishing and ride my bike down the great trails. Also my best memory last year was walking down to the beach at The Pinery with my girlfriend to watch the sun go down. The sunsets over the great lakes are always beatiful and there is nothing like going for a quick swim before the sun goes down. After that we would go back to our campsite and get the fire started so we could tell storys about our day and roast marshmallows and smores. When my family camps we have the “luxury” of camping in a tent trailer its pretty small and its from 1972! its a classic ;).

Anyways I would recommend any free chance you get this summer or even this weekend , check out some of Ontarios Parks or in our area Grand River Conservation. I bet youll have fun..If not at least you will make a memory. Now that I have turned 18 It would be great if I got my license and traveled to one of the parks on my own. Come summer, the beaches are filled with adults and teens alike so it would be great for socializing.
