I am sure we all knew this but its now scientific fact!



From the article,
Children who camp in the great outdoors at least once a year go on to do better at school, as well as being healthier and happier, according to their parents.

And who else knows them better?
And, why so serious?

LOL, it is a bulltish survey, select questions asked to a select few.

Ask the parents of Nimbin what makes their kids healthier and happier at school.

Don't recall any survey ever that hasn't had predetermined answers. There are companies set up for just that purpose and paid squillions to get the results expected for their clients.
 Must admit though, generaly bush kids seem happier then city kids.
 Just my opinion but. And they are like R soles......everyone has one and they all stink. :laugh:

What you talking about? It's sponsored by the camping & caravanning club of Great Britain. Fully legit.

Any way it's bookmarked to show the teacher the next time I pull them out of school to go camping

Way to go, love seeing kids enjoying the great outdoors, do it often enough and it becomes a way of life for them too.
