Girl Camper Guide - Minnesota
Myra Jensen
Hello! I’m Myra Jensen, your Girl Camper Guide for Minnesota!
My love of camping began at summer camp in central Minnesota, where I learned to start a fire, pitch a tent, and enjoy all the fun activities that come with camping. While I have always loved the outdoors and nature, it was not until years later in my late 40’s that I got the bug to start camping again.
My first camper was a charming 1970’s Bethany Pop Up that I lovingly restored. I first discovered Girl Camper when I was learning how to tow, and found Janine’s incredibly helpful podcast on towing. Since then, I’ve camped in a variety of ways—a teardrop camper, the back of a Honda Element, a tiny 5×8 Square drop camper, and, of course, a good old tent. I can be found most mornings while camping with coffee in hand, hunched over looking for pretty rocks. My camping philosophy is to keep it simple, although I am a sucker for new camping gear!
While my husband and grown kids aren’t as enthusiastic about camping, Girl Camper provides a wonderful community that allows us to camp together safely, build new friendships and “camp like a girl”.
Our beautiful “Land of 10,000 Lakes” gives us endless opportunities for camping and adventure. From the scenic North Shore of Lake Superior to the open prairies of Southern MN there are many ways to go places and do things! Join us in making unforgettable memories together.
