Camping for Girls

About the Book

This guide will get women and girls ready to get out in the woods but do not know how or have limited experience and need assistance. I will detail everything from purchasing your tent to picking your campground. We are not men, and we have different needs. We are not going to sit around the campfire and duplicate a scene from Blazing Saddles. This guide will outline two basic styles of camping: car camping with the site next to the car and parking the car and walking into the campsite.

About the Author

Dr. Sharon Judlowitz received her BS degree in Teacher to the Speech and Hearing Handicapped and her Doctorate in Audiology. To pay for school, she worked as a Red Cross lifeguard, water safety instructor, Adapted Aquatics Swim instructor, CPR instructor, and held certificates in basic first aid, solo wilderness medicine, basic canoeing, and basic sailing. After graduating, audiology became the means to fund her hobbies such as camping, hiking, and long-distance backpacking. Her first foray into camping was in the backyard with a blanket thrown over the clothesline, then at Girl Scout camp, then camping with friends, and then on her own with the big mountains. She successfully made the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, hiked Machu Picchu in Peru, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and the White Mountains in New Hampshire. She was a volunteer at the Fire Island National seashore and a lighthouse keeper. She has been stung by jellyfish thirteen times, three times by yellow jackets, has never been bit by a tick or had poison ivy, and hates worms.
