Dear Young Camper,
Thank you for joining the Camping Squad on their first adventure
In this story, Muscles the Bear, Chopper the Beaver, Rusty Raccoon, and Hog the Hedgehog set out on Rat Gap Trail and discover that hiking is about much more than reaching the end of a trail. Along the way, they learn how to work together, solve problems, stay calm when things get a little scary, and help one another when challenges appear.
One of my favorite things about camping and exploring nature is that every trail teaches us something new. Sometimes we learn how to read a map. Sometimes we learn how to be brave. And sometimes we learn how important it is to be a good friend.
As you read this series, I hope you'll discover that kindness, teamwork, and respect for nature can help you through almost any adventure.
Keep an eye on Bigfoot, too. He may not appear until the end of this book, but his biggest adventures are still ahead
Grab your backpack, lace up your hiking boots, and get ready for more Camping Squad adventures in every season.
Happy reading, and happy trails
Your friend,
Jubilee Wynter
Author and creator of the Camping Squad Series.
