Adventuring with Kids, with Author Dan Szczesny

October 1, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Adventuring with Kids: From the White Mountains to Istanbul — Keeping Them Safe, Having Fun, and How Not to Lose Your Mind!

Join the AMC for an evening of trail talk with adventure writer Dan Szczesny, author of The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie, a memoir/trail book of his one-year bonding journey through New Hampshire with his foster daughter when she was nine years old. The presentation focuses on their story, how they started hiking, how they learned to become a father/daughter team, and how to keep kids safe and happy in the outdoors. Dan will also talk about an epic journey he and his wife took with their 10-month-old daughter to India and Turkey — how they prepared, what they ate and how to travel overseas. This presentation includes an extensive slide show.

Dan is a journalist and author based out of New Hampshire. Besides The Adventures, his books include The Nepal Chronicles, about his month-long trek to Everest Base Camp and marriage in Kathmandu and Mosquito Rain: Alaskan Travel Essays, a memoir about Dan and his wife’s journey to discover the true meaning of the Last Frontier.

Dan is a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club’s 4,000-footer club and has written extensively about the outdoors and hiking. He has camped in the Grand Canyon, hiked England’s Coast to Coast Trail and trekked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Dan is an occasional hiking guide and naturalist for Blue Hill Observatory and Science Center in Milton, Mass.
