Teaching others how to camp!
For those who’ve never camped before, planning a first trip can seem daunting. What to bring? How to cook? What to buy? where to go?
At Go CampKit, we’re passionate about “spreading the word” about the benefits and joys of camping. That’s why we decided to launch Go CampKit — to encourage more people to camp more often by creating products that make it easy to camp.
Now, we’ve taken an extra step. Although our website www.gocampkit.com includes information resources on how to prepare for a camping trip, we’ve developed a short course to give those who want to camp but would like a helping hand to preparing.
Our 2.5 hour course is called “Camping Made Easy”, and we’re offering it through our local adult community education center.
We hope that our students will leave our class equipped with the know-how and confidence to embark on the first of many camping trips. We’ll cover a lot of the basics that are already familiar to experienced campers, but are new and not-so-obvious to the uninitiated.
Here’s a link to our course description: http://ace.fuhsd.org/classcatalog/pdf/q42010.pdf The full catalog is at www.ace.fuhsd.org
We welcome suggestions about course content, and we welcome guest speakers. Do you have a valuable tip or other advice for new campers that you’d like to share? What do you wish you knew before you went on your first camping trip.
We’d love to hear from you.
