Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp．There, husbands and children are not allowed．Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone．

At Mother's Camp a woman has room for herself．She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her．No children will ask, "Morn, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks．" In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home．Many of them work full - time and then come home to a second job—taking care of their homes and families．These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework．

They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and singing songs around the campfire．They relax away from home．They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother's Camp．
