The Camping and Caravanning Club begins its annual promotion of the great outdoors with tour across the UK
National Camping and Caravanning Week 2015 has kicked off with a bang.
Running all week, between 25 to 31 May, and organised by The Camping and Caravanning Club, as well as being strongly supported by the caravan industry, this year’s theme is ‘Get Kids Camping’ and will see the Club conducting ground-breaking new research in association with Plymouth University, exploring the benefits of children holidaying in the UK’s great outdoors.
One key theme of research being undertaken during the week, which coincides with the school half-term, will be to determine whether camping and caravanning holidays help make kids smarter and more creative, whilst supporting learning and development during their important formative years.
The new study will concentrate on the Club’s Real Richness Report, incorporating results obtained from Liverpool John Moores University back in 2012 that looked at the association between camping, caravanning and happiness, which revealed that eight in ten caravanners found that holidaying brought families closer together.
The Camping and Caravanning Club has already began hosting a pop-up campsite roadshow across the UK with a host of themed activities throughout the week, including fun competitions, in the hope of encouraging more people to get involved in camping and caravanning across the UK. Beginning at Chester Zoo yesterday (25 May), the roadshow will take to various locations throughout the country including Glossop Caravans today (26 May), and will continue through to Sunday (31 May).
