Camping

When I was ten, a city girl
I went to day camp
in an urban park.
We built campfires, roasted hotdogs,
strung chokecherry necklaces.
It was still camping.

At seventy, I use walking poles
because of bad hips
to stroll the boardwalk
at a cypress slough.
I sit on a bench for hours
watching turtles and water birds.
It is still camping.

Prompt: Camping
