 | June Is National Camping Month Camping and nature, in general, provides an amazing escape from your everyday life. There are fewer people, you're surrounded by nature, and you have no responsibilities outside of adding another log on the campfire. There is something about finding yourself in a vast landscape that allows us to remind ourselves we are a small part of something bigger, this mindset helps us reset when returning to our everyday life. One of the most popular reasons to go camping is to "get away from it all". In day-to-day life, it can be difficult to find quality time with your loved ones. When you are with your friends and family at the campsite, there are no distractions keeping you away from each other. Camping also provides natural group activities that bring people together, like setting up a tent, starting a campfire, or collaborating on a camp meal for everyone to enjoy in the serenity of nature. Pack up your tent, and load the cooler and be sure to check out these titles |

| Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.-Stephen King
