Getting your family outside for some EPIC fun is easier than you think! Are you ready to love being a parent again?

Parenting is like a marathon. No matter how much you know and learn, it’s totally exhausting and overwhelming.

If you're struggling with mental and physical exhaustion from raising your children, you will be amazed at how quickly you can restore your balance when you get your kids into nature. Reclaim that precious time and rediscover how it feels like to relax with a cup of tea so that you can fully embrace having a family.

Hi, I’m Jason Runkel Sperling. I’m dedicated to helping families get their children outside and into nature.

Before I discovered my passion for sharing my love of the outdoors with others, I struggled like many parents today with raising children in our modern times. During the first five years as a parent, I felt a deep and nagging anxiety. I was unhappy as a parent seeing my kids and their childhood consumed by screens. I took the plunge into raising my children screen-free and in nature because I knew I was the only one who could make the change I wanted to see in the world.

Since starting on this path, I have helped thousands of parents discover how to easily get their children outside and enjoying nature.

In 2013, our family moved from a one bedroom condominium in Los Angeles, to beautiful Boulder, Colorado - to create the childhood I dreamed for my kids. Thanks to an amazing community, supportive wife, and the Rocky Mountains, my children play with their friends in the bush, rivers, lakes, mountains, dirt, and snow.

Along the way I made a lot of hard and expensive mistakes, and eventually learned the best way to give our family what they need. I want to show you the way.

My books are written to help parents like you find and master getting your children into nature, have more fun than you can imagine, improve your child’s development and family, and all in the easiest way possible.

How are my books different? Pricey gadgets and programs are not required. In my books, you’ll discover for yourself that the most rewarding family experiences are straightforward and inexpensive. I’ll show you how to get inspired and energized. Good planning is the path. The rest is a simple step-by-step process I will teach you.

You want your children - and your family - to have epic fun?
