The best way a parent can ensure quality outdoor time for their child is to supply all the gear a child needs on a regular basis. Our experience with Michigan weather has taught us which gear is appropriate for our program. Cost does not always mean quality nor does it necessarily receive our endorsement. We love a variety of items that are affordable and easily accessible.
By using the links below, you will be able to purchase items that we love. We may receive a small commission that will go back into our program.
