There is no other place I’d rather be than teaching and learning with my girls. The freedom that comes with homeschooling allows me to pursue opportunities to travel and learn as much as we can while experiencing things first hand! Welcome to our blog about planning our next big adventure, the Lewis and Clark Trail! The three of us girls plan on a 40+ day adventure of learning all we can about the biology, botany, geography, geology, economics, and civics (and more) associated with the Corps of Discovery journey of 1804-1806. Join us on our journey!

The National Park Service has a wealth of information about some fantastic sites.
There are Junior Ranger programs for kids to get more from their experience at the parks.  Last summer, my kids began collecting Junior Ranger badges and had a great time doing it.  We are hoping to earn badges along this trip.

Resources

The following are resources that I have already accumulated.


      
These are all books I had bought when I thought I was going to do the trail when I was in college.




I bought these last year at Ft. Clatsop National Memorial as well as a great educator's resource guide titled The Lewis and Clark Expedition: Scientific Discovery.

The visitor center at Ft. Clatsop had so many interesting guides.  They also had other educator resources.  I need to find out if I can get a list from them so I can order more.
