Canvas and Cub was created by parents and built with some of the UK’s best-known explorers to help you plan epic adventures with your kids.
We’ve brought everything you need for a family adventure into one place – travel guides, activity maps, kit lists, and all the tools to make exploring with kids easy and unforgettable.
As specialists in the wilder side of family travel, we’re here to inspire you and help you spend more time outdoors – even with the youngest explorers.
Research clearly shows the beneficial effect of nature on children's mental health and well-being, and we believe stepping out into the wild is the ultimate way for families to bond.
And that’s why we’re here! Canvas and cub is dedicated to making outdoor adventures an essential part of family life.
'Time outdoors provides important health benefits for children as well as providing opportunities for exploration, joy, and expression'
- Cambridge University, 2024I am a mum of three kids ages four and under, and I am on a mission to help families get outdoors and adventuring (even with the tiniest explorers).
Before having kids I used to love the freedom of packing my backpack to head out on an epic expedition; hiking up mountains, jumping on and off trains (and out of planes).
Since becoming a parent my weekends soon revolved around endless hours at the same playground, soft play area, or in front of a screen (which sent my kids wild).
I craved my adventurous days, but juggling kids and a full time job I ran out of time and energy to find outdoor activities which suited my young children’s needs.
This led me to create Canvas and Cub, and i’ve been traveling the British Isles with my kids on a mission to uncover and share the ultimate wild but family friendly activities.
Think of Canvas and Cub as your ultimate family travel companion.
We’re only just beginning, and I’m so excited to see where Canvas and Cub takes you!
Please do connect on social media, I’d love to say hello.
