When I started to write Camping With Kids, I set a goal for myself of collecting information from at least 100 different individuals. I am grateful to the following 122 people who were kind enough to talk to me or write to me or respond to my emails; to the many anonymous people who shared their experience on the internet; and to the parents who permitted me to photograph their children: Jackie Alexander; Laura Alexander; Amy Anderson, KOA Seattle; Stephanie Arbaugh; Roger Arnell, RV Gold, Oregon; Ranger Jeff Bagshaw, Haleakala National Park, Maui; Raina Ballard; Roberta Bennet; Zach Bennet; Robert A. Boyd; Diana Brement; Clark Carr, Island RV, Kona, Hawaii; Henk and Elke Dawson; Henk Dawson, Jr.; Sarah Essex; Sam Essex; Beth Gendler; Tom Gonser of www.rversonline.org; Ellen Gonser; Bridgit Giedeman; Susan Hankin; Sara Hanneman; Nancy Hanneman; Marlene Haslam; Sandra Lankman Heindsmann; Maggie Herman; Randy Hermans; Sandy Jarvis; Madelaine Jensen; Ava Hamilton Joyrich; Eden Hamilton Joyrich; Andrea Kaawalea, Ethan Katz; Jesse Katz; Volcano National Park Visitors Center, Hawaii; Bill and Jane Kadner; Ruth Kimball; Adam Kimball; Joanne Kloster, RVLife; Ricki and Michael Koppel; Kathy Kruger, Washington State Safety Restraint Coalition; Sara, Danielle, and Elana Kupor; Janetta Lee; Holly Levin; Wendy Liebreich, Portland Luggage Co.; Betty Luttrell; Cindy Lynch; Zoe Meyers; Wendy Miller, REI PEAK Program; Jack Mohnhautp, Happy Seat; Chris Morgan, Insight Wildlife Management; Dobbie Norris; Deborah O’Connor; Jennifer Paver, Washington State Safety Restraint Coalition; Joyce Riley; Vicki Robbins; Gloria Roden; Carina Sauerzopf; Barbara Short; Jenny Singer; Robert Singer; Habib Steffen; Kristen Thorstenson, Washington State Safety Restraint Coalition; Christine Underwood; Jeanie Underwood; Nan and Jack Wiseman; Randee Young, the SkiForAll Foundation; 52 sixth and seventh grade students and two teachers at Assumption St. Bridget School in Seattle; and one US Forest Service ranger who didn’t want his name used.
I am also deeply indebted to two photographers, Henk Dawson, Jr., and Jon Ostrow, who shared their work with me, and to three mentors, Marcella Benditt, Marion Gartler, and Louise Marshall, who started me writing books. Most of all I am beholden, that old-fashioned word, to my photographer, driver, listener, nurturer, companion, and best friend, my infinitely patient husband, Don.

You can begin to study nature in your own neighborhood. Start by taking “hikes” in your local park. Carry a magnifying glass for an up-close look at plants and insects. Older children can record their findings in a small notebook or tablet, or draw pictures with colored pencils. If you have a digital camera, let them use it to record what they see for their very own nature CD.
