The Ultimate Outdoor Winter Challenge with RWMC

This course is not like any other course we offer. Due to the success of our outdoor summer challenge, we've created a winter version!

We have teamed up again with Run Wild My Child and 4 of our Hello Storyteller Pros to create an 8 week winter outdoor challenge!

It can be hard when it's cold (and snowy) to get the motivation to get outside, and we're less likely to bring our cameras along, so we've decided to help you out.

This course includes the following:
8 weeks of activities created by RWMC to help you get outside with your kids this winter with a full explanation of how to do each of the activities.
Additionally, for each activity, one of our pros has provided an overview of how to go about photographing each activity.

There is a private facebook group included with the purchase of this course and a chance to win prizes for those that complete all 8 weeks of activities!

All of this for only $39!! Come join us in getting outside!
