At Ramsey Outdoor, we encourage any outdoor activity with your kids. Per an article written by Danielle Cohen, there are proven benefits to getting your kids off their screens and into nature! She says that being in nature, builds confidence, promotes creativity, teaches responsibility, provides different stimulation and gets kids moving!
We couldn’t agree more and feel that hiking is the perfect activity to get your kids outside and accomplish all of the benefits Danielle points out. Also, from personal experience, we have seen hiking with your kids build better family relationships, helps your kids lead a healthier lifestyle long term, and gets them excited about things found in Mother Nature such as rocks, animal tracks and habitats, and different species. Here at Ramsey Outdoor, we can help you find your local Hike It Baby Group, fit you for a baby hiking pack, or direct you to a book such as Families On Foot to give you ideas on how to get you and your family on the trail!
For anyone local who is interested in getting their family on the trail, please join us Tuesday April 18th for a book tour of Families On Foot in our Succasunna location! The whole family is welcome! We will have snacks, raffles, and a great talk by Jennifer Pharr Davis and her husband Brew Davis on getting your kids on the trail!
Happy Trails
