+HaLiJuSaPa Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 A friend of mine (a non-cacher, but who knows of my US News and World Report "Letter to the Editor" on a similar subject last year) pointed out to me that the March, 2009 edition of Parents Magazine has a whole section about getting kids back into nature and being outdoors, and there's a brief interview with a hiker single mom in Oregon who talks about geocaching as one way to do this. The caching part is just a paragraph, but it basically said it's idea for families with school age kids and points them to geocaching.com. If you read/subscribe to the magazine, it's on page 101 of that issue (I'm surprised we didn't notice it as my wife subscribes to the magazine ). I wonder if she's someone who's on the forums here.

Cool hey?! Thanks for sharing the reference. We also subscribe to Parents mag now that we are in the family way. Maybe I should read it more often if geocaching is included! Quote Link to comment
