Norwalk, CONN. (PRWEB) May 22, 2006

“A-camping we will go. A-camping we will go…” Put another log on the fire and break out the S’mores, because there’s camping fun to be had this summer, and members of AP9 TodaysEscapes (http://www. todaysescapes-program. com/), offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC, can enjoy substantial discounts on all of their camping needs. From tents to fishing tackle, AP9 TodaysEscapes is the one-stop shop for campers.

Schools across the country will be shutting their doors for summer break. What better way to get the summer started than to take the family on a camping adventure! Go hiking, boating, rafting, tubing, fishing … the activity list is practically endless when it comes to camping. And when the day is through, you can relax under a trillion twinkling stars as a warm fire crackles and pops beside you. But don’t forget about all the good junk food and the spooky stories before turning in for the night.

AP9 Todays Escapes (http://www. todaysescapes-program. com/) wants to remind you that while camping is good for the body, soul and family bonding, making sure you follow these simple campground rules will keep everyone -- including nature’s wonders -- out of harm’s way:

-- Arrive early. Setting up camp takes time. Make sure there is enough daylight to allow you to stake out an ideal campsite, check out your surroundings, unpack and pitch a tent if you’re using one. Pick out a spot that has trees or shrubs around the perimeter to block high winds.

-- Fire safety. Potential fire hazards are a major concern at any campsite. Build a fire in an area that cannot spread laterally or vertically. Never leave a fire unattended. Keep water nearby for emergencies. When putting a fire out, cover it with water and soil, and make sure that it’s cool to the touch before leaving.

-- Food storage. Don’t leave food sitting out uncovered for long periods of time or overnight. The smell of food may attract some unwanted furry critters and insects and, quite possibly, large animals such as bears.

-- Be respectful. Always pick up garbage and dispose of it properly. Return the campsite to its original condition for the next camper.

-- First aid kit. Don’t leave home without one. Cuts, bites, burns and rashes could ruin an entire trip if you don’t have something to treat them with.
