Worth the Schlep

Adventuring outside with kids can be so fun and delightful, but let’s be honest. It's also downright exhausting – the gear, the diapers, the meltdowns, the strollers, the jacket no one wants to wear until you forget it, the snacks…good god, the snacks. But with a little time and maybe some (interrupted) sleep, sometimes those trips are also absolutely hysterical. 


Join Tess King, a doctor and outdoor adventurer, athlete, and mom, for stories of the highs, lows, and hilarity of trying to raise an adventurous family. Next time you’re battling a meltdown or ear infection in the middle of a trip you prepped for all month in the hopes that everyone would have fun, just take a deep breath (or scream into the woods), because you got this, you’re not alone, and down the road, this will all be Worth the Schlep.
