Ever had that feeling that your vacation has left you so tired and worn out that you need another one? At Campr, we believe a vacation should leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. And guess what… there is now scientific proof that Campr is good for you!
According to research by The Psychological and Social Benefits of the Camping Experience something transformational happens when you spend your holiday outdoors. By getting away from your routines, the things you depend upon (the Internet!) and the relative comforts of everyday life, you get an actual opportunity to connect with nature. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what will leave you refreshed. And isn’t that everyone’s ultimate goal when on vacation?
5 Scientific Reasons
Campr offers you the possibility to set up camp in the most extraordinary places and live out unique experiences. Here are 5 scientific reasons why Campr is good for you, your health and your happiness:
1. Camping improves the quality of your life and recharges your batteries.
Compared to 59% of non-campers, 79% of campers feel satisfied with the quality of their life. They feel more balanced, optimistic, energized and just… happier. Did you know that camping gives you the same kind of relaxed state of mind yoga will give you? Both activities lead to greater happiness!
2. Camping leaves you with lifelong, happy memories.
Going camping makes you feel closer to the people you’ve met. That’s because the emotional feelings campers experience around a camp fire, on long hikes, while exploring or watching a sun set (or rise) leave you with bettter memories of the camping experience.
3. Campers have better health at all ages.
83% of +75 year-olds who like to camp reckon they feel especially active for their age. That’s compared to only 66% of non-campers of the same age. Even more surprisingly, is that only 49% of non-campers from the age of 26–40 feel healthy enough for their age compared to 73% of people who go camping often. Low vitamin D leads to depression or even chronic health problems. Vitamin D is provided by the sun. This in combination with the physical exercise from climbing a mountain, running around a lake or gathering wood for a bonfire will increase your overall health. So stay healthy and go camping!
4. Campers feel like they can be themselves.
When you camp, there is no hierarchy. Everyone works together as a team to set up tents, prepare food and make a fire. Everybody is important. Basically, camping relieves you of the stress you may feel to be someone else — someone better — during your everyday life. 80% of campers feel like they can be themselves more while camping and 75% says it makes them leveler
5. Camping helps bring people together.
According to research, families who go camping have stronger bonds and are able to communicate better. Spending time with friends and family is what makes people happy in their lifes. Of course, camping can play a huge part in that! It’s just you, your family and nature after all. Campr even lets you make more new friends by connecting you with strangers who have at least one thing in common: their love for camping!
5 Basic Campr Tips
To make your future camping experiences even better, here are some extra basic tips to help you remain a happy camper:
1. Stay dry! Be prepared and bring a rain jacket, extra socks, extra shoes and trash bags to cover your backpack
2. Stay warm! Even more important than staying dry is staying warm. Bring layers of clothing to regulate your own temperature. Your vacation will be ruined when you get sick.
3. Stay well fed! Like a car, we need fuel to keep us going. Make sure you bring enough of it.
4. Stay comfortable! If you don’t want to wake up with stiff limbs, consider bringing an extra blanket and an air mattress (and even a pillow).
5. Stay inspired! Motivate yourself to get out there by creating a bucket list with places you wanna explore, new things you want to try out and so on.
Camping comes with a lot of benefits. If you do it right, it makes you feel better. Happier. Campr enhances this feeling of happiness, because we offer unique experiences and the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world to create memories with.
