Hi, I'm Jenn Stolfa, the creator, owner, and author of this website. My life has been full of outdoor adventure: hiking, exploring, canoeing, camping, gardening, learning, and sharing all this with my kids. We've lived over 10 years in Jasper National Park, so you can be assured that the Jasper content is true and accurate, taken from my personal experiences and those of my local friends. My hope is that other parents will be inspired and encouraged to get themselves and their families out adventuring into nature more often... and to have fun doing it!
