I have never been camping in my life. The opportunity just never arose as a child, and I haven’t gone out of my way to pursue a camping vacation as an adult, although I’m sure the chance will present itself at some point. I’m not big on “Roughing it”, but as long as I can find a way to operate my hair straightener in the woods, I’m good. Ha! Jai, on the other hand, is Mr. Outdoors – someday when we get the chance, I know he would have fun taking me on some sort of camping trip and teaching me to fish.
In fact, Jai even worked as a camp counselor when he was in high school. Yes, his full name is Jason, he was a camp counselor, AND he was born on a Friday the 13th. I actually bought him a hockey mask as a joke when we were first dating! 
And you know what else is a coincidence? The fact that Camp Chateaugay, a website I have been looking at this afternoon, is located in Merrill, New York. Merrill is Jai’s last name, so if he had worked as a camp counselor at this place, it would have been like camping inception or something!
I enjoyed learning more about Camp Chateaugay – besides the fact that this camp is located in a city with an awesome name, I think it looks like a lot of fun for the kids who go there! They have a ton of activities listed and the atmosphere sounds really friendly. I think if you have the financial resources, camping can be a really great experience for kids, because you get to try new things and learn a lot while having a great time.
Have your kids ever gone camping?
My oldest son, who is 11, is at a Boy Scout campout this weekend (with his dad, thank God). I don’t mind camping but haven’t been since I started having my basketball team. The youngest kid is getting old enough that we could probably all go in the spring! Now we need a huge tent!
I had fun camping as a kid. I need my kids to get a little older before we venture out, but I think they’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
I went camping a number of times when I was a kid. I remember it was actually kind of fun. I can see my kids HATING it now since they don’t really like the outdoors all the much, and the fact they can’t play their Nintendo DSes would drive them nuts.
Superb. Thank you for doing such a good job. I will come again to find out more and inform my acquaintenances about your writing
