Families of every kind are making the shift to educate their children at home.  To quote one of our favorite online resources, "The new face of homeschooling does not look anything like it did thirty years ago....[It]is inner city, rural, suburban, hip, trendy, multilingual, simple, crafty, classic, apprenticeship-based, nature walking, take-out eating, conservative, liberal, intentional, frugal, community based and neighborhood connected. In short, it is everything you are." (Simplehomeschool.n …

Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we do a lot more than hike; …

My intention here is to create a network of folks in the Wilmington area for weekly hikes, frequent day-trips and a few big excursions into the great outdoors.
