Is it too late to hit the trails and wilderness for one last camping trip of the season? No way! But even if you can’t make use of your tent again this fall, we invite you to enjoy these book recommendations from Beth Wood of Our Montessori Life.

These four books are all dedicated to the joys of camping, including our favorite, delicious s’mores treats!
