Extreme Kids,
How To Connect With Your Children Through Today's Extreme (and Not So Extreme) Outdoor Sports
by Scott Graham 

A guide to how to get started and how to stay safe including advice from experts, river guides, outfitters, and climbing instructors.

Extreme Kids includes riveting first-person accounts, unusual yet captivating subject matter, and list of 125 must-do family outdoor adventures.

This book has national appeal for people of all ages who want to do things together with their kids.

Includes 125 outrageous family adventures.

Whether you're a longtime outdoorsperson looking to get your kids involved in the activities you loved B.C. (Before Children), or have no outdoor experience but want to enjoy a new sport alongside your children, Extreme Kids will take the whole family on an adventure. Learn the basics of outdoor sports, some extreme (whitewater rafting, kiteboarding, backcountry skiing), and some less so (day hiking, peak bagging, flatwater canoeing), and how to share them with your kids. The book also includes practical and philosophical reasons for family outdoor adventuring. It's never too early to hit the trail (or the river, or the vertical wall) with your kid-each section has an easier version of an extreme sport to get the family's feet wet before diving in.

Reviews:

• Mark Jenkins, Columnist, Outside magazine
  You want your kids to have character confidence, and courage, then by God banish Xbox, Nintendo, and Game Boy and take them on an Adventure. How? Where? When? The answers are all here. Someone finally distilled the fundamentals--both psychological and practical--of taking kids kayaking and climbing, surfing and skiing, scuba diving and kiteboarding. I wish I'd had this book 10 years ago.
