No use moping around all day or complaining. But depending on what exactly you don’t like about camping, there are ways of enjoying yourself wherever you may be:
If you miss your friends or familiar home and shops, you could make this new place feel like home by exploring around, trying to meet some new people and making some new friends.
If you think it’s boring, try to think of an outdoor hobby you could try out such as photography, drawing or painting, or learning the names of various plants and animals from a guidebook. You could even go further and take up hiking, find some recommended trails and head to a lake or climb a mountain.
If you think it’s dirty, there are special soaps and solar showers and enclosures to hang up that will ensure you stay clean and healthy.
If you can’t sleep, there are air mattresses and warmer sleeping bags. Even ear plugs and face masks if you like to sleep in but be sure they don’t leave you behind alone.
If you’re afraid of animals or bugs, there’s new DEET products that don’t absorb into your skin as much and keep the mosquitoes away for hours. And if your parents lets you, there’s pepper spray effective against dogs, bears and lions that will give you the confidence you may be lacking in the outdoors.
see if you can get a friend to lend u a Portable DVD Player or Bring lots of books swimming is always fun to tanning oh glow sticks were a hit last time i went with Family.Try Ur hand at cooking learn 2 build a fire that’s always fun smores as someone mentioned to me! Have fun when I was a kid I hated it but now I love it tell ghost story’s help clean up to pass time good luck
Take a zoom camera and a felt pen after you get there decide where to put the sign. [I did this years ago got in trouble but it was worth it.] put up a sign in a remote part of the lake private area but close to a hiking trail. Notice this area will be closed sat for private skinny dipping after dark singles only. then sit back and watch those pictures will go a long way. besides you might find some interesting things to do after all. luck
