Do you have the desire to balance a demanding career with the need to be an influential parent? Take a journey with the author as he describes the outdoor adventure relationship-building techniques that worked for him as he developed a very close relationship with his sons while managing a busy law career. Using outdoor adventures to enhance his relationship with his sons, read about the author's experiences backpacking, biking, skiing/snowboarding, and kayaking with his sons on overnight trips while the plans for life were discussed and parent/child trust and admiration grew. Come to understand how advance planning can not only preserve these special trips against the pressures of work and other commitments, but can also enhance the impact of the adventure trip together. Opportunities for outdoor adventures together, away from smart phones, the internet and other interruptions, are readily available to all of us.
