Find Adventure: Get Your Children Outside and Into Nature

Caroline Weiler, Youth Engagement Program Manager for Every Kid Outdoors Program, which is a part of the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation, is excited to introduce the Outdoor Adventure Challenge in 2025, a program designed to engage school-age youth (ages 5-18) in fun, seasonal outdoor activities. Each month, participants will be invited to take on new challenges that promote outdoor recreation, nature exploration, and skill-building, all while fostering a lifelong love for the outdoors.

  • EVENT: June Camping Challenge; "Camp at a Campground – If you can access a campground, spend a night camping there. Set up your tent, cook a meal, and follow campground rules (like quiet hours and keeping the area clean). You can also take part in campground activities such as nature walks or attending ranger-led
    programs, if available."

Honoring Sly Stone's Legacy

Val MC talks with producer Joseph Patel about the new Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson documentary, Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), which debuted at this year’s 2025 Sundance Film Festival. "An examination of the life and legacy of Sly & The Family Stone — the groundbreaking band led by the charismatic and enigmatic Sly Stone — captures the band’s rise, reign, and subsequent fadeout while shedding light on the unseen burden that comes with success for Black artists in America."
