Podcast: Winter Camping with Kids

Want to introduce your kids to winter camping but not sure where to start? Join us as we chat with Anthony Quill, an adventurous Minnesota Dad who’s mastered the art of getting his young children excited about camping in Minnesota’s winter wonderland. Anthony shares how his family transitioned from international living to embracing the frozen wilderness, starting with backyard adventures and working their way up to dog sledding expeditions and hot tent camping near the Boundary Waters.

Then we join the Quill family to hear from the kids themselves at their winter getaway in Ely, MN!
