Kids to the Park Weekend Link    No this article isn't about us.  Its about parents taking their "little" kids to the parks and in general getting them to spend more time outdoors. 
We started our kids on the outdoors when Anna had just turned 1 and Catharine 3.  We went canoeing in Canada, a 12hr drive north to a place 50 miles from the nearest town.  Anna couldn't even walk!

The research has been done, long after we started, that shows the benefits of the outdoors in education. Environmental Education Link

So If your kids are too young for our camp get them outside!  If they are 11-17 and you want them to have the time of their life seeing the wonders of America, send them with us.  They may get a little dirty but they will have memories for a lifetime! 
Cheers!
