We always came home where, as she put it, she could have a nice bath and sleep in her own bed :)<br />I went to camp and had so much fun, but we slept in tent cabins. I don't think I slept in a real tent until I met my husband. I don't mind it, but as I get older I like to be up off the ground. <br />That's great your daughters are having that experience!<br />As for my singing, the frogs were cleared out, but our group had no time to rehearse before we went on stage. It could have been better, but people seemed to enjoy it.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-89381644016496882472013-06-26T06:56:13.950-07:002013-06-26T06:56:13.950-07:00smiles....have been at camp when it is raining all...smiles....have been at camp when it is raining all the time...it def takes a good attitude to still make it special for the kids as well...i def think kids need to see the wild areas...and be exposed to nature like that....i am sure they got a lot out of it...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-76473729354265358722013-06-25T11:09:02.026-07:002013-06-25T11:09:02.026-07:00Two of my daughters have begun to camp, though the...Two of my daughters have begun to camp, though they haven't had the tent experience; however, their sleeping was in something like a Native American long house where 7 mattresses were lined up - 3 on one side and 4 on the other (6 girls and the guide). They,ve done it in summer and winter and seem to like it. The thought keeps coming back to me that we should have the tent experience. But after reading this post...hmmm... LOL<br />I love nature and agree with all you've said concerning the benefits and growth that it provides to children. Glad you survived it! Don't know if I could've done the tightrope act. :)<br />How was your singing engagement? Did you manage to clear out all the "frogs" before that evening?Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-18454726146546349432013-06-24T19:18:51.149-07:002013-06-24T19:18:51.149-07:00Indeed!

The dry bed helped greatly :) Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-41132639776635198382013-06-24T17:48:51.906-07:002013-06-24T17:48:51.906-07:00Sounds more like Camp Squish!

Makes me want to go jungle camping (if I get the badge!).Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.com
