Making a connection with nature can be a challenge for busy families.
But you can join Peter Harris next Wednesday, April 4 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Port Moody Public Library to find ways to explore the West Coast with your children. Harris will offer suggestions of how to explore the coast's hidden beauty safely with children.
This free program will help you pick the best outdoor vacation for kids of all ages. Harris will show ways to prepare properly for outdoor trips, where to go, how to hike, canoe and kayak, and how to pick the best vacation for children of all ages. Tips from this program will enable you to make a two- or three-day outdoor trip into a memorable and harmonious experience.
Harris has been running hiking, kayaking and canoe programs since 1974. He is a former bush pilot and seafarer. His own children have grown up pursuing outdoor adventures as he did himself as a child. Harris says an outdoor upbringing can make a difference in a young person's life and refers to the book Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-deficit Disorder by Richard Louv as an example of how nature is essential for a child's healthy physical and emotional development. Harris is the instructor, guide and owner of Pacifica Paddle Sports.
