If your kids are like mine, it can be hard to pry them away from the wii to get them outside. REI has a good summer adventure guide to help your children (and you) get outside and really take in the world around you. When kids complete the adventure, they receive a certificate for their efforts. Not sure where to go on your adventure? REI has a list of family friendly hiking and biking spots. Share pictures of your adventures and you could win a REI gift card. Don’t want to lead the adventure yourself? REI has guided family adventures.
Another great outdoor guide is the Jr. Ranger Program from the Georgia State Parks. Complete sections of this guide and receive a patch like in scouting.
