Website encourages families to enjoy the outdoors

A new website aims to make it easier for individuals and families to enjoy the great outdoors.

Venturepax.com is an outdoor recreation portal intended to help people plan their next adventure. Families can search a database of ideas for an outdoor family activity, find things to do in a certain location and even read up on details about trips ranging in duration from 30-minute jaunts to day trips and weeklong journeys.

The interactive website also allows people to share their own experiences with detailed information about their family's outdoor adventures with maps, photos and other information like where to stay, what to bring and costs.

"My hope was to create a website which makes the outdoors a bit more approachable; where families of all different types can post their own ventures, as well as find new ones to take. More families in motion is what we're all about," said Venturepax founder Danny Stull.

Venturepax is a free resource and includes information and advice on all types of outings including camping, fishing and hiking.
