For the Adventure Seeking Kids

Gift Guide for Kids

Nudging your child to spend time outdoors is one of the greatest gifts parents can give their kids, and it begins with you! Having the right clothing (rain gear, warm layers, gloves and hats in cooler seasons) and going outside with your kids can make all the difference between a forced march and a lovely meander that makes that precious memory. Oh and here are some gift ideas to spark those explorers into action!
