Despite the Federal budget crunch, the National Park Service is offering several FREE entrance weeks this year at many of our national parks to encourage both Americans and international visitors to come and appreciate the beauty and wonders of our national lands. We at The World Outdoors would like to do our part to promote the enjoyment of our National Parks as well. All bookings through April 15th on the following 2011 Camping or Inn & Camping departures will receive FREE camping gear rentals--a tent, sleeping bag and pad normally priced at $100! All past guests will also receive their 5% Friends of The World Outdoors Frequent Traveler trip discount. This offer of free camping gear makes these tours quite affordable for families, especially when combined with the 15% trip discount for children through the age of 18. Just because you're camping doesn?t mean you're roughing it--camping with The World Outdoors is a carefree and comfortable affair. Our guides take care of all of the cooking and camp chores while you relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery. Wake up each morning to the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee and a hot breakfast while watching the glow of the sunrise. Then warm up to the crackling of a campfire as you sip a glass of wine and settle into the silence of your campsite for the evening. For the kids, roasting marshmallows for s'mores is always a treat! It's all part of The World Outdoors camping experience.
