When 9-year-old Josephine learns that the family summer vacation will be a wilderness camping adventure, her fantasy world of seeking out nature comes to life. As the family from the city creates their "home away from home" with a pop-up tent camper in the woods, Josephine discovers what primitive life is like. Her fearless courage and desire to earn a Junior Ranger badge lead her into a series of adventures. Join Josephine as she explores dark forests, dangerous hiking trails, wild meadows, and the history of Shenandoah National Park.

Christine (trail name Moon Dance), a true nature girl at her core, has been exploring changing landscapes nearly her entire life, starting with her first camping trip at 11 months old. Passion for the great outdoors continued to be woven into life's journey as she raised three children with nature and exploration as a family core curriculum. As a retired teacher of thirty years, with a master's degree in educational leadership, she continues to impart the solace and freedom nature provides. Christine currently lives a nomadic lifestyle, traveling with her pug Roxie in an Airstream campervan. She lives simply with a very small footprint and promotes preservation of our public lands.
