MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Now that we are back to our normal routine and reflect on the 2019 Great Lakes Summit in Michigan; wasn’t it so much fun?
Oh, to leave our everyday reality, go back and still be able to be experiencing all the wonderful activities that area of ‘the thumb’ had to offer! A huge thank you to our programming committee, office staff, transportation and the FNS faculty who planned and implemented such a wide variety of activities. Hiking – we did that, kayaking – we did that too, crafts – we had a bundle, field trips to amazing cultural and educational sites – yup! birding – yes & an elusive Kirkland Warbler was spotted! Adventure Race – absolutely! The list goes on and on, in fact the 2019 Summit Handbook was 135 pages long, 100 of which were programming offerings.
And Now What?
We start all over again and we are excited! We have volunteers already researching, marketing and facilitating the 2020 Redwood Coast Summit in Northern California, and our first scouting trips are around the corner. We, the board, the faculty and the volunteers are looking forward to 2020 as we celebrate 50 years of summits in a truly spectacular, WOW!!!! location.

A NO STRESS FAMILY EDU-VACATION!
|
Family Nature Summits are designed to take the stress out of the family summer vacation. No longer do you have to find some place to go that will entertain everyone from your toddlers to your teens to your grandparents. Everyone loves a summit. Adults enjoy their time, enjoying activities of their own with a wide variety of adult programming, from ultra-adrenaline to educational, a side jaunt to cultural and then truly relaxing. Meanwhile, the children are enjoying the learning and adventure of the children’s & teen programs. All youth programs are taught by professionals, with a low teacher to “Summiteer” ratio.
Why a Summit? First and foremost, Summits allow you to explore a region of the United States in a way that would be very difficult to plan on your own. Beyond that, Summits offer:
✓Vetted activities with the best outfitters in the area
✓
Expert led experiences
✓High quality, age-appropriate children's programming
✓Outdoor and indoor activities
✓Crafts
✓Family activities
✓An atmosphere that encourages meeting new friends
✓Lodging and meals
✓Unforgettable memories
✓Fun, fun, fun
