Big adventures. Lasting memories. Made simple.
Family adventures made easy and fun
Enjoy simple, hands-on adventures inspired by Scandinavian Friluftsliv (“outdoor living”) — ready for indoor or outdoor fun, thoughtfully delivered to your door, so you can relax and explore with your family.
Why we believe.
Learning through nature, memories that last
Friluftsliv (Free-loofts-liv)—the Scandinavian tradition of “outdoor living”—has been helping families connect with nature for centuries. Research shows that kids who spend time outdoors are more independent, creative, and resilient. On average, children who play outside at least 3–5 hours per week show improved problem-solving and social skills.
Our adventures make it easy for busy parents to bring these benefits home. Each activity teaches real-life skills while guiding children through playful challenges. Whether in the backyard, at the park, or on a hike, families can explore together, grow together, and create memories that last a lifetime—without the stress of planning.
