Camping: A True Canadian Experience
The call of a loon, the smell of a campfire, and the twinkling of stars in a night sky. This is what a typical Canadian summer looks like. If you want to experience Canada, and what it is to be Canadian, then you need to go camping!
Camping can seem intimidating, especially if you're a first-time camper and don't have all the necessary equipment. But don't let this stop you from experiencing a true Canadian summer! There are lots of resources out there to help you set out on your first camping adventure, and the library is a great place to start!
The Albert Campbell library will be a hosting a "Learn to Camp" session on Wednesday, June 18, at 6 PM. A representative from Ontario Parks will lead an interactive presentation on safe and fun camping in Ontario. If you'd like to register, just call the branch at 416-396-8890.
Toronto Public Library also carries a great collection of books on camping. Here are a few of my favourites:

One thought on “Camping: A True Canadian Experience”
The wonderful thing about camping is that it can be enjoyed by any age.
My first experience was at Algonquin Park. Our camp site was very sandy and most of the time the wind blew sand in your food. Yum.
