Exploring outdoors as a family is what summer is all about!
At Mountain Mom and Tots, my goal is to help your family explore outdoors. One way I do that is through monthly outdoor adventures. These adventures are designed to:
- Get you outdoors.
- Be something you can do with kids.
- Be free or inexpensive to complete.
Well summer 2020 I’m trying something a bit different. This summer I want YOU to choose the adventure. Sign up for my free monthly outdoor adventures in the box right here below these words. Once you get an email from me just hit REPLY and tell me what outdoor summer adventure you’ll be having this year.
Here are some ideas from members of the FREE Helping Families Explore Outdoors facebook group.
Girl’s only backpacking trip. Study fossils. Visit a National Park. See the waterfalls near me. Bike a trail that’s new to you. Raft down a river. Plant a garden. Hike to a Mountain Top. Explore a new state park. Family campout. Learn to play pickleball. Go biking as a family. Learn about the birds in my neighborhood. Swim in a lake. Turn Your Yard Into a Wildlife Friendly Zone. Build a Fort in your Yard. Sleep Outdoors. Plant Wildflowers and Native Plants. Swim in the Ocean. Cook a Meal Over a Fire. Spend 30+ Minutes Outside Each Day. Start a Nature Collection. Learn 3 New Constellations. Make a Nature Journal.
Exploring outdoors as a family builds relationships, has a positive impact on mood and can be a learning experience for everyone. Plus when you participate in this Choose Your Own Adventure Summer, you could be featured on social media AND win prizes.

I’m stoked to introduce my readers to KeaBabies! This company supports families exploring outdoors with its classic baby gear. Take the KeaBabies Baby Wrap Carrier – an essential for any new mama. Baby wraps are my favorite way to hike with newborns. They stay snuggled, while you can move freely. Plus the styles are adorable.
The KeaBabies Explorer Diaper Bag is designed with parents in mind. With extra pockets and an included changing pad, they can keep you on the go with baby in tow. The KeaBabies Bandana Bib set is the final prize from this baby gear company – eight cute dribble bibs that are reuseable and adorable.
You could also win a great sun hoodie and summer noggin from one of our favorite kids gear brands – VeyoKids. Their sun hoodie is rated at SPF 40+ and the first time my daughter wore the one VeyoKids sent for us to try out she said, “This is my new favorite shirt. It’s so silky!”
Plus you’ll want to keep your baby or toddler safe from the sun’s rays with the Veyokids Noggins Sun Hat. It’s built with an elongated neck shield to protect from burns, integrated mesh so it doesn’t get too sweaty and an easy to use clasp so the hat stays on.

June Adventure Prizes
My family is a HUGE fan of Burley bike trailers. We owned one before MountainMomandTots.com even existed and I happily signed up as an affiliate for them as soon as I could. What can I say? Burley makes good outdoor gear!
Burley Bike trailers make exploring outdoors on wheels possible with a baby or toddler. So when Burley came out with their new Dash child bike seat and MyKick balance bike, I was stoked. Now families can explore outdoors even easier. See all our biking gear recommendations here.
Now you could win a Burley Dash or MyKick! Just complete the Choose Your Own Summer Adventure and post about it on social media.
If biking isn’t your thing, no worries. You could also win a copy of book The History of Trees by Simon Wills.
I’ve been reading The History of Trees this summer thanks to a copy the publishers sent me and I love the interesting tidbits about different species of trees. Did you know alder trees have been used throughout history as posts for bridges and dikes because the wood can last a long time, even when wet? Fascinating right? See all my Great Outdoor Reads book recommendations here.
The final prize a lucky outdoor adventure participant will win is a cute sweatshirt from Sunny Side Up Studios. Ashlie, the owner of a local shop in Frisco, Colorado designed these snuggly sweatshirts and they are perfect for showing off that Mountain Mama pride.
To win any of these prizes just post on social media about your summer adventure! You have until June 30, 2020. Include a link to your post in the widget below and I will reshare it.
For bonus entries join the Outdoor Adventure Club on Patreon. Patrons of Mountain Mom and Tots receive exclusive videos, printables and other content each month that helps their families explore outdoors.
$3 per month Outdoor Adventure Club patrons also get to choose upcoming monthly adventures. They are my favorite people because they are committed to helping their families explore outdoors.
