greenbriar island campground - enjoy the great outdoors

Sitting under the stars, cooking out, and eating smores can just make any day seem better. There is something very powerful about nature and being in nature.

You can camp alone or with your family. Although some indoor rock climbers do not ever make the step into outdoor climbing, indoor climbing gyms provide learning and practicing venues for those planning on taking it outdoors. If you are opting for more rustic and rugged locations then you may need all the gear, tents, accessories to set up the tents, sleeping bags that suit the weather conditions, cooking stove, cooking utensils, your fishing equipment if you are looking forward to fish on the menu and all the other camping gear necessities like matches, flashlights, insect repellants and first aid kits which are so essential for any successful camping experience.

Some types of apples for instance, are only good for a day or so before they get too mushy, so pack some good, durable snacks. Make sure to bring along a first aid kit complete with sterile bandages, gauze and disinfectant. Water purification tablets are a must on any camping trips.

When you do meet other climbers, it is like being in a social club, one that non-climbers can t begin to understand. It is important to stay warm, everything from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. For extreme weather conditions, the four-season tent is recommended.

Read a good book with the wind whispering through the leaves. Whether camping as a family or having the kids go to a summer camp, it s a great way to learn about nature and the outdoors.
