Well now is the time to break them in on the great outdoors.  Find hiking 
clubs in your area. I hike with the Sierra Club, K9 Club and a local church. Boy 
Scouts is another source. This website is great for information, check out 
links given on some post and sites. Were do you live? My daughter who is 26 now 
started her adventures this way which took her pretty much around the world. 
She called me yesterday and wants me to do a conoe trip on the Green River in 
Utah  this spring with her..I think I have that right. The experiences will 
remain forever as a family plus you will keep in shape.
Choose your gear with care or you will have closets full of junk like most of 
us.
