Exploring nature through education, adventure and good food
Summer is here and that means it’s time to make some memories! A couple summers back I was hit with the realization that we only get 18 summers with our children at home, and if you throw in summer jobs it’s more like 16 and friends likely 10. Because of this I try really hard …
