Hello all!
I'm looking to get into camping and eventually overland expeditions with my family. Right now I'm focused on doing this with my seven year old son as he's the interested one. Hoping my wife and three year old want to venture along at some point in the future. I'm confident I can muddle my way through learning the various things I should know about camping, as I didn't grow up with these experiences. Dad wasn't there. No boy scouts. etc.
I want to do it differently with my boy. I take him hunting when he wants to go and we go hiking occasionally. What I'd like to do with him (we homeschool) is develop some sort of woodcraft/survival/camping curriculum. One week we could work on something like building a fire. Another week (and more) about plants and trees. Other lessons about using a map. etc.
Before I try to figure this all out.... does such a thing exist? Website? Book? etc?
Thanks... trying to find my way as me and my boy learn this all together.
