LET THEM BE EATEN BY BEARS

A practical guide for parents to get their kids off the couch and get them outside and enjoying nature instead.

Based on Peter Hoffmeister’s acclaimed Integrated Outdoor Program, this inspiring guide encourages parents and kids to go out and play. Drawing from his personal and professional background as an educator, guide, writer, and father, Hoffmeister explains why kids need nature in their lives, how to begin and continue going on adventures with them, and how to enjoy the process along the way. Let Them Be Eaten by Bears makes the case for returning to nature with an approachable, fun reintroduction to hiking, camping, and exploring. Peter Brown Hoffmeister is the co-founder and director of South Eugene High School’s Integrated Outdoor Program, and a writer whose work has appeared in the Huffington Post and elsewhere. He lives in Oregon.
