Hiking & Camping 101 for Families at Peaceful Parlour

Join us at Peaceful Parlour for an introduction to hiking and camping for families. Karthika Gupta of Memorable Jaunts is an experienced hiker and camper who will talk about hiking and camping with kids and pets. Topics covered will include what to know before your go, what to pack and she'll demonstrate how to put up a tent.

Memorable Jaunts is an adventure travel service company and an on location photo studio. "I want to share my love for nature and the great outdoors with other families by helping them choose the appropriate adventure experience for them." writes Karthika. Memorable Jaunts is offering a free customized adventure travel consultation to one lucky attendee on September 17th!

Attendees will also have a chance to win a basket of eco-friendly goodies from Peaceful Parlour including our biodegradable herbal shampoo bar, insect repellent, organic bamboo spork n travel cork case, recycled paper mini notepads & organic cotton napkins - all of which are good practices toward 'leave no trace' in nature.

Families can sign up for a free guided hike at Starved Rock with Memorable Jaunts on October 8th. Details for the hike are forthcoming. A group overnight camping trip will be planned for the spring of 2012. A group is always much more fun and hey if you forget a flashlight, someone else is bound to have one to share! Maybe folks can find some end of season bargains for camping gear.
