LET'S GO CAMPING
Did you know that camping isn’t just fun, it’s also good for your health too! Young or old, everyone can benefit from spending some quality time outside. From reducing stress to promoting family bonding, packing up your family and heading to the campground might be just what the doctor ordered. Here are the top 10 things we love about camping.
1. Reduces stress 2. Great food (things just taste better over a campfire) 3. Unplug 4. Learn some new skills 5. Bond with friends and family 6. Forget your schedule 7. Fresh air 8. S’mores (this one needed a category of it’s own) 9. Being active 10. A chance to be present (no distractions)
