January/February, 2009 Whether you’d like to get outside right now, or are planning for your next vacation, there is no reason to let having a young child in your family stop you from pursuing your favorite outdoor activity. Outdoor activities are a fun and inexpensive way to get your kids up and moving, avoiding the obesity epidemic and forging life-long habits and passions. The outdoors provides a great natural learning experience, as well as unique opportunities to bond with your child without the distractions of daily life. You’ll save money because, once you have the equipment, it’s less expensive to go fishing or snowshoeing than to take the kids to an amusement park. With a little bit of planning and preparation, children of all ages can accompany you as you enjoy outdoor activities year ‘round, whether it’s a cross-country skiing expedition, an afternoon of cycling, a 30-minute hike or a week-long backpacking trip.
