Girls belong outdoors! This handbook covers everything you need to get
outside, including ideas for what to do, camping and hiking basics, body
stuff in the wilderness, advanced skills like maps, weather, and first
aid, as well as recipes, projects, activities, and profiles of inspiring
outdoorswomen.
Your definitive guide to getting outside--for girls ages 9-12! In
addition to basic outdoor skills, this entertaining guidebook includes
easy camping recipes, outdoor projects including science experiments and
crafts, fun activity suggestions, and inspiring stories of diverse
historical and contemporary outdoorswomen (such as Arunima Sinha, the
first amputee woman to summit Mount Everest; Juliette Gordon Low,
founder of the Girl Scouts; and Libby Riddles, first woman to win the
Iditarod). The goal is to improve the quality of girls' outdoor time by
increasing participation and independence, making them feel comfortable
and safe, and giving them essential skills and knowledge. Charming and
approachable, this book will encourage both reluctant campers and
budding naturalists to go wild and embrace the outdoors.
