Here we are talking about two different phenomenon. One is family camping. This meant the family going into wilderness areas and living at campsites around beautiful scenery and fresh air. Naturewalks, and fishing are often associated with family hiking, but hunting less commonly. We have relatively little information about family camping. We suspect that this may be an American phenomenon and partially associated with the development of the automobile, but this is just speculation at this point. One interesting aspect of family camping is the relative formality of dress even while roughong it in the country side. The other important type of camping is summer camp. Here we are talking about estanlished camps for children in senic sides near cities. These camps were normally situated on lakes so water activities could be added to the program. Again this seems to have been an American phenomenon, at least at first, but soon became popular in America.
