To Whom It May Concern,
While personal enjoyments vary from one person to the next, there are many reasons as to why camping should be universally appreciated and enjoyed. Camping is great for many reasons, it provides inner peace, provides an abundance of outdoor activities and is a great way to spend some quality time with family and friends. Some people may not appreciate everything involved when it comes to camping, such as the dirtiness of the outdoors, but there are many other aspects that make camping the great activity many believe it to be.
Firstly, camping provides inner peace due to the great effect of being outdoors. In the mountains, every morning begins with the sounds of crows, cawing one to consciousness. Throughout the day, there aren’t any stressful tasks that arise, demanding to be completed as soon as possible, only the possibility of reeling in a fish in from the lake. There is also an abundance amount of time to just sit around and enjoy the great weather and the silence of nature. Some time spent away from electronics and items of the 21st century is a very relaxing concept for those caught up in the busy modern day world. One could just imagine a crisp, and dark night sky covered by stars that are extremely visible due to the high altitude and lack of pollution. Sitting around a fire with friends and family is a relaxing feeling all it’s own that is the true provider of inner peace.
Secondly, camping provides an abundance of great outdoor activities. When in the mountains, any ranger station would be more than happy to provide anyone with the specific information and their thoughts on the best things to do and the best places to go to. These activities include, but are not limited to: biking, hiking, swimming, skiing, fishing, and boating, depending on the season. However, most activities take place in the summer, other than skiing. Even if someone went camping for a week, they would be able to do a different activity every single day of the week. All of these activities provide joy and are great stress relievers. Sitting on a boat being warmed by the sun, waiting to catch that evening’s dinner provides a relaxing time to just be alone and once and for all, spend some time thinking.
Lastly, camping is a great way to spend some quality time with family and friends. At home, most people are caught up with work in there everyday lives and they never have a chance to enjoy all of their friends and family. Planning a camping trip with family or friends is a great annual activity to do each and every year. However, planning is the key in order to have everything needed and not run short of supplies. Once at a campsite, putting up tents and making s’mores over a campfire is a great way to bond and relax with one another. There aren’t any household chores to do or work to finish, just time to spend focused on family and friends and getting to know each other even better.
Clearly, camping is a great and fun activity that can provide anyone with inner peace, an abundance of available activities, and quality time to spend with family and friends. When most people think about camping, they jump to conclusions about the dirt and grime involved with camping. However, there are many other reasons as to why camping is so much more than all of the assumptions people believe it to be.
Sincerely,
Megan
