June is national Camping Month, and with the official start of summer, now is a good time to grab a tent (or rent a cabin) and head to nature.  Camping does take a fair amount of planning and preparation, so start now.

  • Monday (6/21/2010) First Day of Summer / Summer SolsticeThere may have already been a few false starts to summer (Memorial Day, last day of school), but today is also the longest day of the year.  Celebrate by making sunrise a family event tonight.
  • Tuesday (6/22/2010) Plan a Camping Trip - For some people, camping means sleeping under the stars. For some, camping means sleeping in a camper.  No matter how you camp, it is an excellent way to bond with your family and nature.  Camping has a tendency to produce powerful memories.
  • Wednesday (6/23/2010) Create a Camping ListListPlanIt.com has a thorough camping list – ready to print and check off!  Don’t forget sleeping bags, flashlights, and camp cookware.
  • Thursday (6/24/2010) Plan the Camp Menu & Shopping ListWill you grill or roast over an open fire?  Will you eat sandwiches?  Will you invite family & friends?  Be sure to spend a few extra minutes making your shopping list so that you don’t forget anything.
  • Friday (6/25/2010) Halfway to Christmas – It’s hard to believe, I know, but Christmas is exactly 6 months from this day.  No need to panic.  Are you already saving money for the holidays?  Are you keeping your eyes peeled for bargains?  Being aware will help you be prepared.
  • Saturday (6/26/2010) Go Camping - Whether you camp in a tent or in an RV, camping is a great way to connect both with your family and the outdoors.
  • Sunday (6/27/2010) Smell the RosesIf you wake up by a lake today or in the mountains or in a field of wildflowers, be present.  Be in the moment.  Don’t think of tomorrow.  Enjoy today!
