We actually spent a week camping at our camp. Will all three boys and our dog. Although we did get some work done, we also spent a lot of time doing vacation things: swimming, cooking, going for walks, reading, etc. V2 even brought up a battery powered keyboard to practice piano. Even without plumbing, electricity or running water (not counting the stuff running downhill from our well) we had a great time.
