Nature is Better than Screens
Camping is a fun trip. It is time to be outside with your family.
Some kids want to bring tablets or phones. I think screens should stay at home.
The woods are very pretty. You can see very tall trees.
You can look for blue birds. You can see small brown bugs.
If you look at a screen, you miss the woods. You miss the fun stuff outside.
Camping is for playing. You can play with your friends.
You can build a small fort with sticks. You can swim in the cool lake.
Games on a tablet are for your house. Outside games are better for camp.
Screens can also break at camp. Dirt can get inside them.
Water from the lake can get on them too. It is best to keep them safe and dry at home.
Camping is about the fresh air. It is about the bright stars at night.
You can tell stories by the fire. You can eat yummy treats.
Leave the screens at home for now. You will have a great time in the woods!
