My family would love to go camping, but I've never been - I have a fear of bugs!!  What should I know about camping?
Camping is an outdoor activity where you pitch a tent and stay overnight.

I would stick to frequently visited places such as national parks and commercial campgrounds. Don't go in the woods by yourself.
Oh, I wouldn't do that!  I need to have a restroom and shower close by - LOL!  I don't even know how to cook on a campfire - do you have any pointers on that?
both self-reliance and teamwork.
Definition.
Camping describes a range of activities and approaches to outdoor accommodation. Survivalist campers set off with as little as possible to get by, whereas recreational vehicle travelers arrive equipped with their own electricity, heat, and patio furniture. Camping may be combined with hiking, as in backpacking, and is often enjoyed in conjunction with other outdoor activities such as canoeing, climbing, fishing, and hunting. Fastpacking involves both running and camping.
