Outdoor Parents Outdoor Kids:
A Guide to Getting Your Kids Active in the Great Outdoors

By Eugene Buchanan

Children are spending an increasing number of hours indoors, in fact, youth participation in outdoor recreation is down an alarming 17% in the last three years! Parent and award-winning author, Eugene Buchanan, aims to reverse that statistic by helping parents instill the love of the outdoors in their children. His humorous book guides you in including your children in an array of activities: biking, paddling, climbing, fishing, skiing, camping and more, without going crazy doing it. Plus, you’ll learn that parentdom doesn’t mean selling all your gear and committing your life to watching Disney movies. You can still enjoy recreating outdoors, just in a new way. An essential resource for new parents and frustrated veterans alike. $19.95! outdoorkidsbook.com
