Trying New Activities as a Family

People often ask me, what are your favorite activities to do with your family? And honestly, it’s all of them! I absolutely love being a totally newbie at a sport. And I especially love being a newbie at something with my children. 

For me, any activity that gets us outside is something I'm really passionate about because I love exploring the outdoors and trying new things with my kids.

Getting Out There

There are so many amazing activities that you can do outside with your family. You can ride bikes, hike, run, swim, SUP, kayak, fish, or even skateboard. I mean, there are just so many sports out there and so many activities that you can try. 

I don't SUP all the time, but for some locations, its the best way to experience it.

I think it’s really important to try them all as there might be something you feel more equipped to try. And there may be sports that you have no interest in trying. But at the same time, trying something new with your kids can be a great bonding experience. And to me, anything that gets the kids outside and motivated to get outside is a win in my books.

Try A New Activity

To help you get outside, definitely consider trying some new activities. If you’re nervous about getting outside and trying new activities with your kids, look for a professional. You can look up different schools or guided tours in your area. But you can also reach out to some friends.

If you have a friend, for example, who hikes a nearby trail that you haven't been to, reach out and ask them if they can take you. Or if you have a friend that knows a mountain bike trail, or a friend that goes stand up paddle boarding, they may be more than happy to head out on the adventure with you. Any activity that gets your family outside together is great one.

Rafting was a good way to introduce the family to whitewater in a safe environment.
