 Are curious, love new
experiences and can’t wait
to explore.
 But because of their
restless energy, you’ll need
to make frequent stretch
and exercise stops.
 They get bored easily, so
have a variety of activities
they can participate in.
School-age children – age
6-12
 See the world as new and
exciting, full of things to do
and discover.
 Travel can be an exciting
educational experience.
 They have more stamina and
can tolerate more physical
driving.
 National parks, museums,
factory tours, camping and
amusement parks!!!
