Kids spend enough time in lecture settings already
Non-competitive
Competition can be great, but so are breaks to practice a different way of being
Age, gender, ability diversity
Learning how to work together with people of different abilities and interests
Parent-child bonding
Groups make family time more fun
Being active and getting into nature
It’s awesome
Some interaction with risk
Interaction with small risks (minor burns and cuts) makes for wiser kids

Just in case…
All are welcome!
