Our weekly post highlighting the best online content and most useful tips written by Outdoor Parents! If you want to get these posts every day, follow our Facebook page.
You won’t typically find gear reviews or travel guides here – on this site we focus on the skills and inspiration to help you get outside and stay outside with your kids. We also believe that everyone should feel welcome in the outdoors, so we share articles by parents and outdoors-people of color to make sure everyone is learning each other’s perspectives.
This week we also want to highlight two exciting updates about Outdoor Kid Handbook:
- I was interviewed for the Ordinary Sherpa podcast hosted by Heidi Dusek! It’s a great podcast for finding inspiration and tips to adventure every day with your family. Listen to the podcast here.
- We have launched a survey of Outdoor Parents, with the goal of understanding how families fit big adventures into their routines. We’d appreciate it if you could fill it out and share it with any families that you think could help.
Hopefully, these links and the Ordinary Sherpa podcast encourage you to plan your next outdoor adventures, reflect on what you were able to accomplish over the past month, or what you learned and would do differently. Enjoy!
