Today's episode is a special one!!! To celebrate the 5th Tuesday of the month, we are doing a panel discussion about hiking with kids!!! If you ever wanted to take your little ones out on the trail, this is the discussion for you. Join us as we talk about boys and girls of all ages and the fun of getting them outdoors.

Participants, along with Anna: Stacey Brazier is an educational administrator in New York City, a school counselor supervisor, and mom to four kids currently aged 15-21 years old. She loves to crochet, sleep in her hammock, and explore the city as much as the wilderness. Stacey was a scout leader for many years but preferred to take her kids hiking and camping herself. She is also a Board Member for Trail Dames, Inc. and the Head Dame for the newest Trail Dames chapter, the Tri-State Dames.

Marie Ruff has a long history of loving the outdoors and adventure. She is an avid hiker and has a long history as a Girl Scout Leader. Marie now volunteers with the Kentucky AT Adventure Program, which is a group of women who prepare high school-age Girl Scouts to be confident and independent backpackers.
