Camping: Adventure, family bonding, and education

Camping is both fun and enriching. Read our article about why you should explore the great outdoors with your kids.

At night, we would sit around the campfire and make s’mores, tell stories, and sing campfire songs.

One of the best memories I have of camping with my family was when we went to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. We stayed in a cabin near the park and were able to explore the area and its many wonders.

We hiked to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, took a boat tour of the geysers, and visited Old Faithful. We also went fishing, swimming, and even did some rock-climbing. We also took a drive to the top of the Beartooth Mountains, where we were able to take in the spectacular views of the area from the top. We even got to see some wild animals, including elk, bison, and even a bear.

At night, we would sit around the campfire and make s’mores, tell stories, and sing campfire songs. We also watched the stars twinkle in the night sky, and the Milky Way was so visible we could make out the different constellations. This camping trip was one of the best memories I have with my family and one that I will never forget.
