Let’s Go Camping!
Child excited to hikeLet’s DO THIS!
So, you want to go camping with your kids. Hit the open road. Make family memories. Post fun pictures on FB and Instagram.
But does the thought of everything you need to do just to leave the house have you feeling overwhelmed? I’d love to help.
I’m Kirsten Fraser Oldread. I’m an Outdoor Educator and mother. I know the benefits of spending time in nature with your kids (not to mention yourself) firsthand.

And that’s okay.
You may find yourself needing to let go of some of your expectations of how things used to be. To readjust your priorities. You may not be going out on epic bike rides, but instead enjoying some quiet time around camp, hoping for an epic nap. Your hiking goal may not be trying to log as many miles as you can, or reaching that remote waterfall — but may instead be a half mile (and half-day) meander. Honestly, sometimes we don’t even leave camp — instead enjoying
