We were so tickled to receive the video below via our Facebook page from Wendi Nicole, a mom, wife, and professor at George Mason University who loves to camp.
Wendi shares, “We began camping five years ago (in Virginia and Maryland) and quickly recruited others. Family and friends have joined us for the last four years and we always enjoy the opportunity to create memories by the campfire.”

What shines through in each image is just how happy everyone is. From the oldest to the very youngest, their nature glow is infectious!
Want to start a family camping tradition of your own? Visit your local REI store for all the know-how, and gear you need to get started, then check out Reserve America to reserve your ideal campground near where you live.

Of course, we at Outdoor Afro are here to cheer you on and celebrate your family connections to the great outdoors no matter where you do it!
