[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 481457, member: 12692"] its really great to see/hear/read of other families doing this. too many kids grow up spending the majority of their young years enclosed in suburbia & wrapped in mod-cons, & learning little of the natural world thats out there. I have 4 daughters & a son, & when they were little we spent a lot of time camping & trekking around. We would buy notebooks, pencils, torches, batteries as required & still have a fair few books on wildlife. After setting up camp we would take them for walks around spotting wildlife & particular plants, & then after dinner we would do a night walk to find nocturnal animals. Needless to say, our kids always had great stories to tell, & sometimes stuff to show, at school the following week. This also had the side benefit of learning orienteering, using a compass, small map of the area etc. My (small) grandkids are now starting to get the same opportunity. And of course its the best bonding time parents can get. [/QUOTE]
