Learn to Camp!
June 19, 2015 | Kate | Comments (0)
Ah, the Ontario wilderness. It can be so peaceful to sit under the stars, swim in a lake, and get back in touch with nature.
But you've never camped before! What gear do you need? How do you book a campsite? What food do you bring? How do you even start a campfire anyways?
Luckily, Albert Campbell Branch along with Ontario Parks is here to help! We are hosting Ontario Parks' Learn to Camp program on Thursday June 25th, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. A Parks representative will go through the basics you need to know to plan your own camping vacation, and provide a hands-on demonstration of camping gear.
The Ontario Parks Learn to Camp website is also full of great tips and resources for your first camping trips, including checklists for what to bring, how to set up your campsite and start a fire, and campsite rules and safety.
The Toronto Public Library also has tons of books on camping! Here are a few to check out. Click on a book cover to see which libraries carry it or to place a hold.
