Coming soon. Jay is giving the activity guides a final proofread before they go on sale as downloads. Ask to be told when they’re ready.

Safety first. Outdoor activities carry real risks. Each activity guide has safety notes, but you are responsible for yourself and anyone in your care. Supervise children, get permission, never eat anything you cannot identify with certainty, and only light fires where it is allowed and safe.
