What's it like to sleep outside, cook over a fire, and carry everything you need on your back? In this episode of The Children's Hour, our Kids Crew shares their own outdoor adventures and learns about how to stay safe and have fun while camping. We're joined by experts from Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions and a meteorologist to answer questions and share tips about preparing for the wilderness. Find the full episode page at https://www.childrenshour.org/kids-camping/ We meet Jordan Stone, the Executive Director of Cottonwood Gulch, and educator Naina Panthaki, who both lead youth camping and backpacking trips across the Southwest. They explain how to pick a campsite, what to pack, and how to protect yourself from bears, bugs, and even poison ivy!  Then, meteorologist Kerry Jones teaches us how to read the sky for signs of dangerous storms and what to do if lightning or flooding strike. Plus, the Kids Crew tells stories from their own hiking and backpacking experiences, and gives listeners advice on exploring the outdoors responsibly. Whether you're heading into the mountains or your own backyard, this show will help you get ready to camp! This episode was produced by Katie Stone, with help from Sarah Gabrielli, Thaniel Lentz, and Isaac Lacerda. Our guests were Jordan Stone and Naina Panthaki from Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions, and meteorologist Kerry Jones.
