You love the great outdoors, but you're not always sure the great outdoors
loves you. You can pitch a tent, start a campfire, build furniture by lashing
tree branches together - in theory anyway! But while you may not have gotten
your Girl Scout Gold Award, or your Eagle Scout with cluster, you can still
enjoy a night out under the stars with those near and dear to you, or even
work towards becoming a more serious outdoorsman, right?
Sure as a bear lives in the woods, Camping for Dummies shows
you how to get out there and enjoy the best Mother Nature has to offer.

and numerous other outdoor adventures, Camping for Dummies cuts

When
We Go Camping
by Margriet Ruurs
Paperback from Tundra Books
Media Published: 2004-
ISBN: 0887766854
In this beautifully illustrated book, one busy family finds lots to
do from sun up to sunset. At the campsite, there's wood to chop for the
fire and fish to catch. And there's lots of time to explore, climb rocks,
splash in the lake, and discover animals in the shadows of the woods. As
afternoon turns to evening, supper needs to be made, and just before bed,
stories are told around the campfire.
When We Go Camping is as instructional as it is delightful.
Each painting highlights the tracks of one animal, which curve from the
text into the illustration. Readers can turn to the glossary for more details
about the wildlife depicted on each page.
When We Go Camping is a perfect way to preserve summer memories
all year long.
