Calling all Families! The "No Child Left Inside" initiative takes families to join together to share the great outdoors with your kids. There is no better way than to share the wilderness with your children. Build your family traditions by joining us on various weekend events, and local hikes, picnics, paddles, camping, and biking events. Feel free to contribute ideas for families or to become a families leader to share your passion with other like-mnded outdoor families. Contact the Families Chair, Barbara Dyer, at barbaradyer@hotmail.com or 508-735-3281 (3-8) if interested.

Interested in finding family friendly activities through our partnerships and meeting other outdoor oriented families? Contact barbaradyer@hotmail.com if attending and she will connect you with other families attending the same event, or if you wish to get on the e-list of upcoming family activities.
