I wouldn't want to "head it up", but would be involved and do my part if we got enough people. FYI, Hill Country Club and Austin in Action are both outdoor clubs that do a lot of cool stuff, but they have very few if any kid friendly events.

The benefits of a club, that did include kids, would be to have a group that the kids and parents, and adults without kids, could become connected with. I also like making friends wherever I go, but also enjoy seeing the same folks and developing relationships. It's especially great for kids to make friends through consistent groups. Cub Scouts and church youth groups are popular for a reason. The problem, is that there is no secular familiy oriented camping group currently in existence in or around Austin. Another reason is so that you don't have to do all the planning/ research stuff- you can just look at a calendar and decide if you want to show up to the given event- and of course you host some events as well.

Any other interested parties, or Nicholas, do you have any time to sort of "market" this idea? I am in the middle of starting a school, and a roller derby team, so really can't put anything into the marketing part- but like I said, if we get a group, we will definitely do our part.
