Welcome to Outdoorsy Families!
I’m Audrey. I’m a mom to two toddlers, a wife to a camp director, former teacher, dog mom, and lover of the outdoors.

Before becoming a mom, I spent my winters skiing the Utah powder and my summers hiking its summits. After making the intentional decision to leave Utah for a simpler life with our kids, my family found ourselves living in the northwoods of Minnesota. With this move has come lots of days at the lake, ski trips to little Midwestern hills, learning to avoid mosquitoes while camping, and having fun playing in the snow.
