Family Camping Is the Bst time Ever!


Family camping is one of the best ways to bring your family together. 
Family camp is the experience that will bring awesome memories and pictures that will make you smile for decades.  

 What are some of the family stories that you like to tell again and again?  Are they around family vacations you have had?

 When you are out in nature, with the most basic style, you are able to see one another in a new way.
The simple rituals of camp are great reference points for life.

Food, clothing, shelter, communication, relaxation, these are the basics of life.  Smiles, free time, fresh air, sunshine, stars in the sky, trees, birds.  

These are the cherry on top that so enhance your experience of life.
You will love having those here.
There is time for all of these in camp, without rushing off to find the next thing to distract you.

When my grandchildren come to the land that my sons grew up on, they are overjoyed.  Their dads live and work in town, and they have those same types of limitations. Suddenly, they are able to see vast areas of open country, to move around as freely as they want!  And there is plenty of fun stuff to do.  Small pleasures go a long way.
We spend time around the camp fire, going into the house as little as possible, and they eat like warriors.  Running around and playing, walking up and down hills, making up stories instead of watching videos, they are having a great time.  And their parents are, too.  By the time the few days we have together are over, everyone has gotten a recharge and ready to get going on the next thing life has to offer.
It just all looks new again.

Other children come and visit for some of these family visits, too.  It’s so great to watch a pack of kids finding a lizard!  They all naturally form into a relationship structure that makes sense for them, sharing and talking to one another about what’s important to THEM.
The adventure unfolds and they make up new ideas as they go along.

The parents and grandparents, meanwhile, have a chance to compare notes on life and parenting, and give one another support.  It builds strong friendships.
Being in Big Sur together as an annual adventure while the children are growing up strengthens relationships between family members in every way.

How would you like to have great camping stories that don’t involve work and disasters that you might have when you set out on your own? That only involve sitting back and relaxing in nature while others take care of the hard work part?

Get in touch with me to plan a trip that your family will always remember with such joy.

Always a pleasure to read your stories, I was having flashbacks to child hood fishing trips, and flash forwards thinking about my parents and where I'm going to be.

I'm thinking that Big Sur would be a great place to have a family reunion! That's one area that my family lacks in right now, but maybe the gears are already in motion.

Cheers
