Setting up tent in the middle of a mall may sound fun but it takes away many things that are good about traditional camping, says CNA’s Crispina ...

SINGAPORE: I forget many things with increasing regularity these days but there’s one memory that stands out like a shard of glass in the sunlight of my mind.

We went the whole hog – tents, little foldable chairs, portable stove, nets for fishing, a cooler box for drinks and torchlights for night walks.Usually these trips lasted two nights and frankly, they were not my idea of fun. Yet, this concept of glamping is not new and has fast gained popularity. As the name implies, it is a mix of glamour and camping, a style of camping with all the bells and whistles and none of the awful things associated with traditional camping.

Everything is sanitised and safe and everyone can get up the next day without a sore back or mosquito bites. The value of camps, especially for children is what it inculcates in them – a spirit of adventure, leaving creature comforts behind.
