Protect your families relationships
Protect your relationships
The World is a very fast-paced place to live these days, with so many different gadgets available to everyone that sometimes we actually lose track of the relationships we have with people. More and more kids are playing video games or are spending time on the internet, which causes them to not get the same human interactions that we got when we were children. I think that it is great that all of this technology is now available for us to use, but I do think that we can get too wrapped up in it if we are not careful. I think that one of the best ways to get back in touch with people, and also to try to slow down your life is to get back to nature. If you leave your laptop, your cell phone, and yes even your iPod at home, then you will be amazed at how many different things you can experience within a short period of time. Camping in the woods really brings people closer together.
Fun things for Camp- How to draw
While searching for fun things to do at camp we came across a funny series on YouTube videos aimed at “How to draw”. Now while this conventionally would not be appealing to a group of teenagers or indeed a group of 6 years olds, the quirky social aspect of it, turning it into a challenge became appealing. I must state that currently at our camp we have resisted any sort of technology and ban mobile phones, ipads, ipods etc so this may not be benefitical to use in its current state, but it did spark an idea.
