See You at the Campground

March 1, 2020
Former road-trippers who thrived on adventure, new parents Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi suddenly found themselves housebound with infant twins and losing their identities in the process. Determined to regain control of their happiness, they embarked on a seemingly simple road trip to visit family and ended up with the hotel stay from hell. They decided that camping might just be the answer. In their first book, the authors pass on their years' worth of knowledge in hopes that readers will fall in love with camping, too. They share heartwarming anecdotes alongside tremendously useful tips and recommendations for newbie to experienced campers, walking readers through the specifics of tent camping; selecting, renting, and owning an RV; packing and unpacking; booking campsites; traveling with extended family and friends; creating the ultimate campfire; discovering national parks; and making long-lasting memories in the process. They share how camping gives children the gifts of flexibility, imagination, patience, curiosity, independence, and much more in our overscheduled, overconnected world. This user-friendly guide will have readers ready to plan their own camping trip.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
