Thesis,MSES,Green Mountain College,2013

Includes bibliographical references.

The Cape Cod National Seashore sees four to five million visitors a year, many of them vacationing families. Through personal experience working at both of the park's main visitor facilities over the past six years, I have come to recognize that families often come to the visitor centers in search of advice on what they can do together at the park. Many families need guidance on how to enjoy the resources of the park together during their vacations. Furthermore, a trip to Cape Cod can often prove to be expensive, especially for larger families. The family activity guide to the Cape Cod National Seashore provides those visitors seeking fun, educational, and affordable things to do at the park with ideas and inspiration for activities that allow them to enjoy the multitude of unique natural and cultural resources the park has to offer while spending quality time outdoors as a family. This guide was developed through reviewing comparable publications, and working with park education and interpretation staff to refine and test activities included in the guide. It is the goal of this project to have the guide accepted through the MSES program and to have the final product available to visitors both online through the park website and a park visitor centers.
