According to statistics, homeschooling in the United States has increased 74% in the last eight years.
Why? We do not believe that it is because of a lack of faith in our public school systems as much as it is a growing desire to see MORE education and more focus on real issues that will eventually effect the home.
We have toured this country for many years teaching and presenting in thousands of schools and have addressed not only hundreds of thousands of school students but their very concerned parents. Disaster preparedness is always an issue that raises more questions than it provides answers. How do I teach it to my children without frightening them? How do I deal with the tough issues after a disaster? Do I allow my kids to see the news of current disasters? How do I involve them in our planning?
We have found that the world of disaster preparedness is a wide world of educational opportunity filled with science, history, social science, mathematics and literature. It is through this new blog that we intend to provide those tips, stories and insights that we have shared as we toured. Stay tuned here for programs, guides and curriculum additions as well.

The first leg of the Girl Scout Tour is almost over and to be honest, it is hard to believe. We have been so fortunate to have the very best girls in the world show up at our events and we are enjoying the energy and willingness to learn.
If you have not stayed on top of Chasing4Life news, the team has partnered with the Girl Scouts to povide programming that focuses on disaster preparedness. Each tour focuses on a special theme and has been designed for the different age groups. Right now we are on our weather watching tour. Following tours include Home Disaster Kits, Climate Change and Animals in Disasters!
Stay tuned for an "End of Tour" Update!
