NO WI-FI BUT TONS OF CONNECTIONS

Whether you are a committed ‘glamper’ or a rustic tenter, there is something restorative about getting away from the hustle and bustle of regular life to spend time in nature. Enjoying peace and solitude on a hike, feeling the water’s swell and sunshine while waiting for a fish to bite, sharing stories by a campfire and counting the infinite stars are all activities that feed your heart and soul. Let’s hear it for these opportunities to enjoy the bountiful outdoors and for the scrapbookers who tell of their adventures!
