Missouri Department of Conservation – Winter Camping

Camping, when it’s chill, is surprising, and bonding, like simplier times.

When You Were a Kid, Where Did You Connect With Nature?
Fishing with grandparent on a Sunday afternoon? Roasting hot dogs over a fire during a camping trip? Rolling down a grassy hill with classmates after school?

Maybe it was just a few years ago, or maybe it’s been a little longer. Think back to when adventure could happen in your own backyard. Where the cicadas buzz in the summer warmth. The smell of the damp air after a thunderstorm. The night sky lit with fireflies. The feel of grass between your toes.

It’s time to make that connection again, and Never Lose Touch.
