After hearing about how Geocaching can be a fun addition to your Family Camping adventures, I saw this informative article about it in the L.A. Weekly.

For the first time ever, I had a paid speaking engagement today. I was fortunate enough to be invited by a local parenting group to present on the topic, "Cheapskate summer: How to have fun without busting your budget." Basically, that meant I got to yammer on about family camping for an hour and a half...something I love to do even for free! The best part of the presentation for me were all the wonderful tips the moms present shared with me...and now I'm going to pass a bunch of them along to you! Shared by Francine P.: Free art workshops on Sundays at Barnsdall Park and the WAZE app for directions on all those roadtrips. Also, she followed up with me after my talk and says you can schedule walking tours for kids of downtown L.A. with at least 3 weeks notice and a minimum of 15 people (8 on a weekend) and reminded me of someplace I've always wanted to visit, Angel's Flight. Shared by Sharona K.: If you want your kids to improve their keyboarding skills, a free program is right on the Santa Monica Library site. Shared by Orly S.: Geocaching as a lure for older kids to participate in your outings as a family. Shared by Lisa A.: For discount tix and coupon codes on all sorts of outings, try Retail Me Not. Shared by Shauna K.: Two fun places for kids to tour near Solvang are an ostrich farm and a miniature horse farm. Shared by Nechamie: A fabulous park - Montebello Park And last, but not least...
