Ep. 4 Getting Outside in Winter

Are you struggling to get outside with the cold temperatures, snow, and ice? While some adventures might look like building a snowman in the backyard and others might look like snowshoeing in the backcountry, we have some tips and tricks to help making winter adventures with kids a little easier. 

Layers -  

-2 piece suits once kiddos are out of diapers is key! [Fun tip: A 5 Gallon Paint Bucket with Toilet Training Seat works great in the car] 

-Base layer (wool or synthetics), mid-layer fleece, waterproof or water resistant outer layer (ie. MEC Bunting Suit) 

-Neck warmer, toque/winter hat, waterproof boots, mittens/gloves 

For on the trail -  

-Ice cleats/crampons - for kids, use size XS and then tie on with a zip tie 

-Snowshoes and poles 

-Make sure to follow signage on adventures!  

-Pack a sled!!

Ep. 1 Meet the Mamas

Adventures stop when you have kids, right? Wrong! They just get better!  

In this episode, Adrianna Skori, Cindy Dowsett, and Lauren Rodych-Eberle talk about how their adventures have continued once growing their families, and how each of them have found ways to become kids again themselves, as they get out in nature.  

Three moms who have joined forces to build-up Kids Who Explore and connect adventure families from all over the world, also discuss how they individually have worked on finding a balance between their work, their passions, and their families.
