Our Camper Bill of Rights is intended to empower each individual the ability to define what is right for them in this art form. One of these rights is the right to fail, which is part of the process of growth. Use this as a way to aim for better while understanding that we will all stumble a little along the way. The key is to begin communicating our needs & listening to others with kindness & compassion.
