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 Newbury Town Library as we welcome NH author and hiker/parent Sarah Lamagna as she shares her new guidebook, Hiking with Kids New England: 50 Great Hikes for Families, and goes 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.
A fun, interactive presentation that *might* (wink wink) involve some M&Ms and bubbles. Sarah will be available to sign books as well.
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.
