Recently we were hiking with some of the kids in the program. We were in the Santa Monica mountains, walking down a trail. Nearby there was a group of campers with their tents set up. One of the kids in our group, he saw this and asked me, "Hey, do people live here too?"
Recreational tenting was a hard concept to explain to a boy from skid row. We said, "No, they don't live here. They do this for fun." But he just didn't understand. A tent was for someone to live in on the street. Who would do this for fun?
