Easy Camping for City Folk

Does the thought of staying overnight outdoors frighten you? Do you fret about wild animals paying you a visit--black bears, mosquitoes, snakes, creepy crawlies? What about the sun or heavy rain? Or noisy neighbours? Maybe what you're looking for is a cushy camping experience, all safe and urban, not too far from home and yet fun for the kids.

For those of us who are from the city and are not too comfortable with staying out in the country, there's this Facebook page called EZ Camping Tips for Torontonians. Feel free to sign up there and share your fears and dreams of the great Canadian outdoors. And remember to post some of your pictures when you're done camping.

Have fun!
