i think one of the reasons my two DDs enjoy camping is knowing they won't have to have bath/shower!!  they do like their baths but I think they find it quite fun just being able to have a "wet wipe wash" and brush teeth of course!!!

I must say though, after a long weekend camping, the first thing I do when we get home is run the bath for the girls, it's the dirt under the fingernails that's the hardest to get off!!!!

Washing every day; not good for the environment or your health.
A survey of children found the most healthy (least infections, allergies etc.) lived on farms where they were exposed to a large amount of dirt.
Washing every day exposes your kids to soaps and detergents which can lead to allergies and unhealthy skin conditions.

After all, our evolution did not involve daily baths and showers so they are not necessary, unless you are a manufacturer of cleaning products, a power company or a water supply company.
