World’s coolest place for an adventure quest
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 |Children just love playing outdoors and I think we should encourage them as much as we can because nowadays there are so many temptations that keep them indoors in front of computers and TV sets, that a lots of them are overweight and that affects their health.

We can justify the lack of preoccupation for the children physical exercise by saying we are too busy making money so that we could afford to give them everything they need. But I know it and you know it that this is a lame excuse. There are so many ways to get them involved in physical activities and allow them to spend some quality time in nature. You just have to want to look for them.
If you can’t go with them for a family trip out in the mountains or in other perfect places for fun, you can choose one of the adventure camps your kids will simply love. And since they have all played Adventure Quest computer game at home, why don’t you try to combine these two things and organize a wonderful adventure quest live, on real ground?
First you need to find the world’s coolest place for an adventure quest. I mean you have to find a place that fits perfectly your objectives, what you have in mind. I think a location in the mountains is perfect, but try to find an adventure camp or something similar, some space where everything is carefully organized.
The wild forest is a cool place, but not when you have to keep an eye on kids, so safety comes first. If you choose to have your own adventure quest in the family NEVER leave a child unsupervised because they can easily get hurt or lost. Be prepared with all kinds of maps and directions , so it’s obvious that you have to come at least once before this trip to organize things and view the surroundings. Download some ideas for the quests from different web sites or even quests from the RPG game and use them in your adventure. Then try to also bring costumes because it all looks more real and fun with the appropriate costumes and hats. You can be pirates or musketeers or medieval knights fighting with foam swords. Be prepared for everything, even for small accidents and always carry a first aid kit.
The world’s coolest place for an adventure quest is the one that is closest to you because children do not take very well long trips, especially by car and when they grow up they do not enjoy such activities any more. Of course the ideal location is in the mountains, but the clearing of a forest will do just fine as long as there are enough members for the teams and the organization is impecable. If I were to choose such a place for myself now I would say the jungle or The Everest or Grand Canyon. But, like I said, safety comes first and the fun part of the quest is important, too. If your children are good swimmers you could choose the banks of a river or even a water park.
Have you ever organized such family outings? Where? Give me some more ideas, please.
