Want to get outside with the kiddos this summer? Have no hiking experience (or maybe a little experience, or a lot of experience but none with kids tagging along) and want someone to tell you where to start? Join Kittery Trading Post NH author and hiker/parent, Sarah Lamagna, with some s’mores around the campfire while she shares information about her new guidebook, Hiking with Kids New England: 50 Great Hikes for Families. She’ll go over the top things that she finds are the most useful to bring with you when hiking with kids. Kids are, of course, welcome at this event.
Hiking with Kids New England offers up new and exciting adventures for parents and their elementary school-age kids alike. Organized around location, for ease of knocking out all of those "bucket list" places, the book features 50 day hike locations, with each hike featuring color photos and a map. As is standard with FalconGuides, all the basic information--from trailhead GPS to best times to go to fees and contacts--will be there, along with trail descriptions geared directly for the kids.
Weather permitting, join Sarah in cooking up s'mores around the campfire while she talks about how she makes it easy for her and her kiddo to get out on the trail. She'll give you the low-down on her tips and tricks for distracting kids while also getting them moving on a trail!
Sarah will take up any burning questions you might have when it comes to getting your kiddos outdoors. After decades of adventuring and doing over 400 hikes with her own kid, she knows the ins and outs of getting those kids on the trail.
