Like many things in life, peer-to-peer (P2P) renting is all about who you know. GearSpoke has been making new friends with other outdoor and technology organizations and is pleased to announce our public friendship with ChildVenture. If you don’t already know ChildVenture, go ahead and get excited now (crowd cheers!). ChildVenture is an adventure tour company for children, and they’re not your typical adventurish mom and pop shindig either. Kids go on two-week expeditions into rugged Alaskan wilderness that few people ever see. (OMG- Kids out of the house for two weeks, what will you ever do with yourself?…) When you check out their site, you’ll be impressed with some of the tours they offer; they’re truly an inspiration.
Do this experiment:
1. Tell your kids about ChildVenture excursions and watch their response.
2. Prepare to send them on an expedition that will not only make them fall in love with outdoors, but they will also undoubtedly develop valuable life skills.
3. Congratulate yourself for being a responsible yet hip parent.
4. Don’t forget to go nuts when the kids are gone. When they return, say that you were miserable without them. (And don’t stray away from the script!)
5. Rinse and repeat!
For an easy access to ChildVenture page, just log into www.gearspoke.com and scroll down to our new and well fed FAT footer. When you talk to Mike and Shelby, husband and wife guides extraordinaire, and their 9 (almost 10) kids, just tell them that those cool kids at GearSpoke sent you.
One last quick rave about ChildVenture: What’s really impressive about them, is they do all their adventuring as a family; Your kid will be surrounded by 9 (almost 10) other spirited and positive young souls.
Follow along with Childventure and learn about the best adventure spots for kids and families across Alaska. They’ve got a wonderful blog!
As we make more outdoor friends you’ll see more logos on our homepage. If you want to become our next friend, we’d love to hear about it!
The summer is near, go and get that adventure now!
