It was a Thursday night when i got the message from a fellow blogger, Let's Discover Ontario, asking if I wanted to go to the Spring Cottage Life Show. I had never heard of it, as I'm a camper and generally not a cottager, but it sounded like a great way to spend a cold rainy Saturday. I graciously accepted after receiving a yes from Peter about if he wanted to go with me. I [...]

While staying in a yurt at Mew Lake with my mom, we met a park ranger who had just come from working at Silent Lake. He told us all about the park and that he highly recommended us paying it a visit. I had heard a lot about Silent Lake but had never been there so I was appreciative of the information and decided to look into it further when I got home. A few weeks [...]

Family day weekend boasted record low temperatures in Ontario. I decided to go camping at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park, in a summer tent, and at -42, it was a rough but surprisingly fun weekend. There were many circumstances that brought me to the Winter in the Wild Festival in Algonquin Park, as I was expected at Macgregor Point Provincial Park. Unfortunately, neither of my camping partners could make the trip, leaving me with two [...]

Several people who walked past the site I was staying on at Mew Lake, Family Day Weekend, said that it looked like a little village. This got me to thinking about it, and the differences betwen winter camping vs the remaining seasons. When you're camping in winter it really is just like we are all part of a small village. There is a great feeling of community among all of the campers. We are all temporarily living in [...]

Judging by my name, Camper Christina, it's safe to say I love camping. What my name doesn't say is that I hate the cold and am not a huge fan of snow! As I have been strictly a 3 season camper, I have never had the need for a winter tent, which in addition to cold and snow, is a big reason I didn't think I would ever go winter camping. Regardless of that, I [...]

How to build a Tipi! CamperChristina style!

Somehow the thought of winter camping never occurred to me. For one, I hate the cold, and for two, I don't really care for snow. Every year when winter arrives, I hibernate along with many other warm weathered canadians who enjoy the other 3 seasons, but know that winter is a time to catch up on movies, tv series, cleaning the house, indoor DIY projects, etc. But this year, somehow that changed. I had been [...]

If someone had told me a year ago that I would go winter camping, or glamping, in this case, I would've said they were crazy. Up until this year, it has never crossed my mind to even attempt adventuring in the snow, and now I have done it and am actually even camping in a tent for my next two trips! Being in nature in the snow is truly magical and I now understand why [...]
