Camping
Camping describes a wide range of activities. It is often done in conjunction with other activities, such as, hiking, swimming, and fishing. There are various types of camping like: Backpacking, Canoe camping, Bicycle touring, Winter camping, Workcamping etc. Just a few years back camping was thought to be a rugged affair as it was accompanied with sleeping outdoors in tents, cooking over fire,no proper sanitation available and a whole lot of other activities that was not quite usual in common day life. Over the years the thought process of people has changed and people are indulging into camping more often. Choosing a destination means choosing right kind of campsite too. Some camps offer only primitive campsites with cleared ground for you to set up a tent and a box privy. Other campgrounds offer running water and electrical hookups. And some even offer venues for adventure: Canoes and rowboats may be rented, groomed beaches may be used, and hot showers taken at comfort stations sprinkled throughout the campground. Campground brochures will reveal what's available - just be sure to call ahead to see what's offered as far as amenties are concerned. They may be key determenants in your choice of a destination. Your Plan of Action 1. Pick a departure date and time; decide on the length of the trip. 2. Someone should be in charge of transportation, whether it's renting a minivan or getting the group to the campsite or trailhead. 3. Decide who is going to be 'group leader'. This person should have some outdoor experience, or be the person who decided on the destination.
