One Black Mom & Her Kids On An Outdoor Adventure Of A Lifetime

It’s officially camping season. We are dead heat in the middle of summer fun camping, hiking, and splashing around in lakes, which includes a tour of the United States’ National Parks. After all, the National Park system is celebrating its 100 year anniversary.

To beat the summer crowds, one adventurous mom, Christina Benton, packed up her three kids: Joshua, 13, Averie, 10, and Nathaniel, 6, on a 64-day, 5,704 cross-country winter adventure of the National Parks. Her goal was not only educate her children, but to promote diversity in the U.S.’s natural wonders.
