Today on the show we have Kate from {Sons of Adventure} to share all about their adventuring around Australia and the outdoor hiking their family love to do!
Kate and her husband Scott have been together for 19 years and have always enjoyed the outdoors so when they had their 3 boys, very close in age, they naturally started slowly exploring the outdoors as the kids got older. Recently, they just finished The Yuraygir Coastal Walk, which for them was a 5 day hike and for 2 of the boys it was their first overnight hike/multiway hike. It was located on the coast which made it a simple hike as far as variation in altitude and an easy one to start out before choosing some more challenging hikes later this next year.
Kate shares a lot of great advice for families who may be overwhelmed by the ida of taking on a massive family full-time adventure and encourages families to adventure when and where they can. She also talks about some of the cool benefits she’s seen in the boys as a result of getting out there and explore and what can do for their character and outlook on life.
Advice from this Episode:
∆ Family adventure looks different for everyone. And it doesn’t have to be massive. It can be a hike after school or camping on the weekend. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just get get out and do it!
∆ Sometimes the hardest thing is getting out there and going for it. Honestly sometimes the hardest thing is getting them in the car. But in our experience, getting out there has brought huge rewards.
