Back in 1976 I took my children on a cross country camping trip. (Just me in our Mercury stationwagon, tent, and Coleman campstove as Dad never warmed to camping.) My son was 7 yrs old and daughter 4. It was a great adventure but my son was thrilled to get back to his friends and the comforts of home. He still firmly considers "roughing it" a Holiday Inn with no swimming pool. On the other hand, my daughter become a devoted out-of-doors person. As a matter of fact, after completing college she announced she couldn't live in the big city (actually the Washington DC area) and was moving to Whitefish, Montana, a location she recalled from that 1976 trip. She has been in Montana for more than a decade and now takes her children camping and they love the outdoors too.
The moral of the story, your grandson may love it or not. Which every you and he will have great memories and hopefully will share of love of the outdoors.
On our last camping trip with our grand-daughters (4 yrs old) I let them use an old digital camera to take pictures. They had a great time and got some amazing shots. Things do look difference from their height. I am currently putting those photographs together in an ebook. More great memories. OMG, I love camping!
