A MESSAGE FROM THE FFR DIRECTOR
Happy 25th Anniversary Naval Station Everett! Twenty-five years ago, the city of Everett and Snohomish County welcomed the Navy to the newest and most modern Homeport in the world. Fleet & Family Readiness was there when the ribbon was cut and the first ships arrived to their new home. Today we continue to support Sailors and families with world-class service and resiliency through our programming. Visit one of our many facilities this spring! Explore the Great Outdoors with MWR this season! Visit the Community Recreation Office in The Commons to rent all the gear needed for your own outdoor adventure, from water, camping and sporting equipment to trailers! It’s also a great place to learn about local trails, adventure sports, outdoor programming, and more. Browse our magazine rack for the hottest trends and ideas, plan a trip, route or expedition in the nearby North Cascades or even into British Columbia, Canada. Our staff is always willing to assist you in finding the activity that fits your interest or level of experience. Spend your stay-cation in the PNW visiting our Navy Getaways destinations! Jim Creek and Pacific Beach offer a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities including camping, fishing, boating, hiking, and more. Visit us during Spring Break, hosting a team-building activity, or while exploring the area! Finally, we are all excited for the annual “Month of The Military Child” observance in April. Our Fleet & Family Support Programs team will be offering child- and teen-centered activities to celebrate our wonderful Navy Families. Look for fun and enjoyable events hosted by the Child & Youth Program inside this magazine. We look forward to helping you find that special experience that fits your family or your group of adventurous friends! JENNIFER FOSTER CNRNW N9 | FFR Director, Naval Station Everett

Family Camping Trip
SURVIVAL GUIDE CONTRIBUTED BY RYAN LEAVY
Summer and camping go hand in hand in Washington state. However, camping with kids can be daunting, even for a seasoned survivalist. To help you embark on your big family adventure with confidence, we’ve compiled some of the best tips and tricks from the outdoor experts at MWR.
Make Reservations Early: In Washington State, campgrounds tend to fill up fairly quickly. Most people begin planning and making reservations 6-9 months in advance and last-minute sites are few and far between. Luckily for the Military Community, you have access to three private campgrounds! Jim Creek Navy Community Recreation Area, Cliffside RV Park and Navy Getaways Pacific Beach are only accessible to those with base access and are routinely patrolled by base security. They all offer their own unique niche with Pac Beach on the Ocean, Jim Creek in the woods and Cliffside with sunset views of the Puget Sound. Practice Makes Perfect: Before you go, pitch a tent in the backyard or even in your living room. Let the kids hang out and sleep in it so they become comfortable with this new environment. Once the kids are comfortable in a tent, go for a family outing at a park close to home. Set up the tent and see how your kids react to the experience. Involve the Kids: Show them pictures of your destination and ask what they want to see or do while they are there. They will talk about it all the time leading up to the trip and build excitement. Ask about what foods they want to enjoy and be sure to indulge them a little bit. Who doesn’t love s’mores? Let the kids pack some of the camping gear or even if it’s just filling a small backpack with toys.
Get your Gear: If you’re missing something (or everything), your MWR recreation center can help with a wide selection of rental items at an affordable price. Once you have what you need, establish locations for important items and remind everyone to return it back to its proper location or you’ll be stubbing your toe at 2 a.m. looking for the lantern! And, don’t forget to buy a few lightweight and inexpensive toys to keep on hand as a special reward or an emergency distraction for the little ones, just in case setting up the tent ends up being harder than you thought. THE G R EAT N AV Y CA M P OUT Adventure awaits this summer at this family-friendly camping tradition. Contact a participating Navy Getaways location for details. Bring a Friend: Invite another family or bring along your child’s BFF. Kids get bored of us eventually, but they never tire of their friends! Safety First: When you get to the campsite the first thing you’ll want to do is let the kids run loose and explore the outdoors. However, be sure to establish some ground rules such as “always be in sight of a parent”. You can give each child a whistle and access to a flashlight or headlamp. Also, be sure to learn about the local wildlife and if any precautions need to be taken such as proper food storage or how to react to an animal encounter.
Look for Wildlife: You’re almost guaranteed to see the famous Deer of Jim Creek or the neighborly Bald Eagles of Cliffside. Check out bugs, examine rocks, identify birds, flowers, clouds or constellations. Cash in on Geocaching: A GPS-guided treasure hunt engages kids in all sorts of ways and tends to lead you to unexplored and exiting parts of the campground. Search for GeoCache in the App Store or ask at the Front Desk of the campground if they have any GeoCaches hidden in the area. Toss Out the Schedule: If your kids want to skip rocks into Jim Creek or fly a kite at Pac Beach for four hours, let them! Tossing out that regimented schedule is part of the joy of camping. Play King for a Day: Make the kids feel important. Assign them camp chores such as picking up sticks for kindling or stacking firewood near the firepit. Recognize their contributions and bust out a toy from your secret stash. Expect the Unexpected: As much as we swear we go camping to rest and relax, acknowledge that camping with kids in tow can still be stressful. Go in prepared to cope with inconvenience. Keeping that upbeat, can-do attitude will make all the difference by the end of the trip. Even when things don’t go as planned, remember that there’s nothing like the great outdoors to bring everyone together and make memories that will last a lifetime.
