I am getting a lot of my inspiration for this idea from Richard Louv's book "Last Child in the Woods" and the C&NN (Children & Nature Network) which has a big online presence and some pretty cool tool kits and a ning site for networking.
My co-organizer is a great person named Chris Bachman and he leads the local chapter of Sierra Club's Inner City Outings. He has tons of ideas and know how. The core people that I have been sharing the outdoors with are a group that I met in climbing course taught by the Spokane Mountaineers in 2005. After summiting peaks in Canada together we all rushed home and started families. We have children spaced out at almost the exact same ages. We also have armada's of canoes', bike trailers, and loads of climbing gear that we can't wait to play with.
