More happy birds next summer?
or How one families desire for freedom inspired a whole
movement.
Yes, a family from Brossard are coming next July and have requested Camp
Comfort Unplugged. Asd a third is interested.
Be the third family coming next summer (2011) to request
the WiFi connectivity be TURNED OFF. Go truly wireless and we will
give you $50 or 4 bottles of pretty decent wine. This
is our small effort to encourage more people to interact without "the
wire" and experience another state of wellness, that is well, more
nat ural.. A family from Manotick, just South of Ottawa, had the honour
of being the first and has been admitted to the Camp Comfort Hall
of Fame, just after the Hashimoto clan who in 2003 who coaxed 16
people to take the Polar Bear Challenge.
"For us to truly experience peace and quiet and to garner
the full experience of your cottage, I asked our family to give up
technology for 2 weeks. This meant cell phones, tv, dvds, games and
internet. |
Many of us are losing the know how to be with each other close-up. Or maybe
if you are reading this you are not but you are longing for a time and space
with friends and family, where everyone is truly there, together, fully
in the present. All that e-mailing, gaming,
Skyping, or Facebookingi is wonderful for when we are apart, but it does
nothing to improve your family life (or sex life!).
Take the challenge to focus on friends, family, and your partners surrounded
by pleasing architecture and spectacular nature. Connecting with one another
is easier than you imagine. Nothing like quitting smoking!! After 2 days,
as all your Internet and texting desireshave faded
away, replaced by a new urge to play card s.. This is not about going without
technology. We have a sauna and showers. At night, Lights out and stars
on, take a trip in our hot tub time machine and gone are a few
off a few years of wear and tear. Find yourself whole again in that state
of being that Canadians used to know as "cottage life".
Enjoy a week without hyperlinks, give the birds and your pets a week without
those radio frequencies, and request the unplugged and unwired cottage.
You will not see any evidence of the wireless ban except a single sign posted
at the top of the driveway
"Beware, Connected Family"
