Monthly Outdoor Challenges are now Outdoor Adventures.
Mountain Mom and Tots Outdoor Adventures
Getting outdoors with kids can be tough, but the rewards are powerful – better health, stronger family bonds, improved mood, and more. One thing that helps me get outdoors with kids is having a goal. That’s why I came up with hosting FREE Monthly Outdoor Challenges here on Mountain Mom and Tots back in 2017.
Well a new decade required a new focus, so in January 2020 Monthly Outdoor Challenges changed to Mountain Mom and Tots Outdoor Adventures.
Why the change? Because getting outdoors with kids is challenging enough. I wanted to focus on the fun aspects of outdoor parenting, the adventure and excitement of intentionally exploring outdoors as a family, instead of focusing on the challenging parts. Sure, attempting to ski with a toddler can be difficult, but by focusing on the fact that you’re attempting the adventure in the first place, you already start from a place of success.
How Mountain Mom and Tots Outdoor Adventures Work
Every month, I’ll email you an outdoor adventure that will:
- Require you to get outside.
- Be something you can do with kids.
- Cost little or nothing to complete.
Often the adventures will come with a FREE printable designed with you in mind like a kid-friendly scavenger hunt, or a list of 50 ways to go green as a family.
Mountain Mom and Tots Outdoor Adventures are completely free to participate in and offer outdoor inspiration delivered right to your inbox. However, if you join the Mountain Mom and Tots Adventure Club on Patreon for just $3 per month, when you complete each month’s adventure you’ll be entered to win exclusive patron giveaways where your chances of winning will always be 1 in 50 or better.
Mountain Mom and Tots Adventure Club patrons get all these perks:
- Get a 1 in 50 chance of winning Outdoor Adventure Prizes.
- Help choose upcoming adventures.
- Will be featured on Mountain Mom and Tots instagram channel, facebook page and in the Helping Families Explore Outdoors facebook group.
- Get their name listed on Adventure emails the month they sign up.
All for less than the cost of one cup of coffee.

What People Are Saying
My goal for Mountain Mom and Tots is to help your family explore outdoors. Participating in these Outdoor Adventures is one way to do that. Here’s what people are saying about it!
“Thanks to your challenge, we played outside today and enjoyed collecting icicles and sticks and feeling the sunshine when we likely would’ve stayed inside. And, the challenge helped me to focus on the beauty in my own backyard. So even though it’s just a baby step, at least we took one today and we had fun doing it :)” – Rachel
“Thanks to Mountain Mom and Tots, I’ve been setting my camera aside so that I can just BE in the outdoors….BEing present is a good idea.” – Monica
