Welcome to this conversation

Friends for decades, this is some real Maintaining Ground conversation,
where we learn alot . these are long time friends sharing here...
Fluid conversation flow, Exploring outdoor adventure infused into the education system.  There are schools that have been doing this for decades, pioneering this concept.  These kind of programs are wonderful examples to hear about and explore and understand. Ever imagine whitewater rafting, rock climbing, or camping in the snow as part of our education system? Is adventure important? What do you think?
At Wake the Farm Up, we are stoked they offer a farm to table program as well!
