Adventure Made Easy: Free Resources for Families

Simplify, Connect, and Explore — One Small Adventure at a Time

Getting out with little ones doesn’t have to be hard. These free resources help you travel, play, and explore with more ease (and a lot less stuff).

As parents who love adventure, we designed the Lay and Play Adventure Mat to solve one simple problem — where do I put the baby? But we also know that adventures take more than just great gear.

That’s why we created these tools — guides, checklists, and tips — to make every outing feel lighter, calmer, and more fun. Whether you’re heading to the park, planning a road trip, or sneaking in a backyard picnic, you’ll find everything you need to make it all easier.

Because sometimes the best memories come from the smallest adventures. 

We believe adventure is more than a weekend plan — it’s a way of life.
It’s about raising kids who love the outdoors, stay curious about the world, and grow confident through exploration — with less pressure, less perfection, and more presence.
