Back row - Paul Bucher, Paul Kntzer, Thomas Simon, Steven Lownik Front row - Jodie Massey, Susan Calvanico, Deborah Mueller By Kirsten Klahn Special to the Freeman If you have your sights set on camping this summer you won't have to look far. For those who want to feel like they're getting out of town without driving far, try Naga-Waukee Park at 651 Wi-83, Hartland. The park gives you instant access to Lake Nagawicka, where you can get your fill of fun water activities, including swimming, fish- ing, sailing, waterskiing, boating and canoeing. Hiking on the Ice Age Trail, which runs through the park, is a popular activi- ty. Naga-Waukee Park has five reserved group camp- sites and 34 family sites that are available for overnight use. There's also five picnic shelters available on the campground, and campers will find restrooms, grills and sand volleyball courts located throughout the park. The park's hours are from sunrise to 10 p.m. year- round, and the beach is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Family camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. One vehicle costs $16 per night to camp at Naga- Waukee Park, but if you have a Waukesha County annual sticker, it drops to $12 per night. Muskego Park, S83 W20370 Janesville Rd., spans 193 acres and is filled with plen- ty of trails that wind through Muskego Park Hardwoods, which offer ample wildlife and a peace- ful setting. Family camping is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, with one vehicle costing $16 per night or $12 per night if you have an annual sticker. For more information call the Waukesha County Parks Department at 262-548-7801. Country View Camp- ground, S110 W26400 Craig Ave., Mukwonago, is anoth- er great campground to set- tle in for a few nights. There are RV and tent sites that include fire pits, picnic tables, a swimming pool, recreation area, playground and game room. There is a two-night mini- mum stay and a three-night minimum for holiday week- ends, according to its web- site. A tent site with no hookups will cost $24 a night, while a tent site with water and electricity is $26 per night. A campsite with water and electricity will run you $30 a night and a campsite that has water, electricity and sewer costs $34 a night. According to the website, rates are based on two people. There will be an additional charge of $2 per night for each child over three and $10 for each addi- tional adults. Visit www.countryview- camp.com for more informa- tion. If you're in the mood to explore outside the western suburbs, try camping on one of Lake Superior's Apostle Islands, a group of 22 islands off the Bayfield Peninsula in the northern part of the state. The islands provide a nice retreat, placing you far away from everything except woods and Lake Superior. Camping is available on 18 of the lakeshore's islands, as well as one campsite on the mainland. You can pick from locations that include Basswood, Cat, Rocky, Devil's and Sand islands. The island is thickly wooded. However, the shore- line clearings provide a per- fect spot for campers to set up shop. Permits are required for any camping done on the lakeshore. Indi- vidual campsites hold one to seven campers and can be reserved beginning one month before the start of a trip. Individual campsites are reserved at $10 per night. Group campsites can be reserved beginning the second week in January, and cost $20 per night. For more information or to make a reservation call 716-779-3397 and select Option 1. While many people pre- pare for camping by buying supplies, it's also important to bring proper apparel when exploring the great outdoors, said Amy Dimond, a spokeswoman for Sears. One of Sears' go-to brands is Outdoor Life, which car- ries short- and long-sleeve solid and plaid button down shirts, short-sleeve pocket T-shirts, striped polos and cargo shorts, Dimond said. Another great brand is Nordic Track, which offers short-sleeve plaid button down shirts and short- sleeve T-shirts with wicking properties, in addition to microfiber shorts. "It's important to make sure you bring items that can be layered. Some out- door enthusiasts also look for technical performance attributes in their clothing. From a style standpoint, Outdoor Life features a wide variety of colors, many of them in earth tones. Nordic Track offers a bolder look with more vibrant colors," Dimond said. "All of these factors should be taken into consid- eration depending on the activities you'll engage in when camping," she added.

But before you do, make sure you've stocked up on gear that will ensure you're hydrated, cool and protected from the sun's UV rays. A must-have item includes wicking apparel, gear that's specifically designed to remove moisture from the skin as the body produces sweat, said Jessica Hoepner, co-owner of Performance Running Outfitters, 1380 Pabst Farms Circle, Oconomowoc. Wearing wicking apparel, socks and a headband, visor or hat will help keep skin cooler and dryer when work- ing out in the heat. Keep an eye out for wicking apparel that also protects against the sun, Hoepner said. Outdoor apparel should have good ventilation prop- erties, often in the form of mesh or laser cut vent holes, she said. Avoid cotton, which has no cooling effects or pro- tective properties for your skin. Make sure to invest in good socks, said Meaghan Hay- ward, manager of InStep Physical Therapy & Running Center, which has a location at 615 Genesee St., Delafield. "I think one of the most important things is socks," Hayward said. "As you sweat, especially in the sum- mer, cotton socks are going to expand, making your shoes too tight. You end up getting blisters. You want well-fitted socks that are moisture wicking." For tops and shorts, Hay- ward said she recommends North Face, Mizuno and Saucony. They all have prod- ucts that use lightweight wicking materials. When you're picking out your summer gear keep in mind that not all workout attire is the same, Hoepner said. "Not all wicking apparel is created equal. Higher quali- ty athletic apparel has UV protection, less seams — or no seams — to reduce irrita- tion, better temperature reg- ulation and anti-odor proper- ties," Hoepner said. Hayward said chafing is also a big issue in the sum- mer. To help, she said she rec- ommends BodyGlide, which is a water-based product that prevents skin from chafing. When you're working out in the hot summer sun, hydration should be your main priority. "Hydration is important, so make sure to drink water or an electrolyte replace- ment drink, like NUUN, lead- ing up to the workout. There are a lot of different ways to carry liquids now that are comfortable and lightweight and also made of the same wicking materials as athletic apparel," Hoepner said. "Hydration belts, hydration packs and hand-held bottles. Typically, they also have a nice pocket to carry your phone in case of an emergen- cy." For those interested in a hydration belt, Hayward said they come in many sizes. When picking out a belt, be sure to get one that is big enough to carry plenty of liq- uids depending on your hydration needs. Hayward recommends using Nathan or FuelBelt hydration prod- ucts. Whenever possible, make sure to plan your route so you're mainly running in the shade. Another good practice is to aim for workouts that are early in the morning or late in the day. Take every precaution you can when it comes to dealing with the heat, Hoepner said. That includes picking up an ID Tag, so outdoor enthusi- asts can get the right medical help in case of an emergency. Hoepner recommends checking out the website www.RoadID.com. It's important to figure out your body's hydration needs before training outdoors, Hayward said. "Generally speaking, if you're outside longer than 30 minutes, you should bring some type of hydration with you," Hayward said.
