During our Online Family Wilderness Skills & Storytelling event in May, special guest speaker Tom Brown Jr. announced a nature writing contest for the kids. The top three story submissions would receive prizes including an autographed copy of his book, a patch, and even a coyote skull and coyote teeth from Tom's private collection!

Here is a look back at Tom's challenge to the youth during his May 17th online appearance. (Scroll down to see the winners and their winning story submissions.)

The response was incredible! We received stories from children all over the world. Their hard work and creativity made selecting the winners a challenge for our team. Tom announced the winners in a special live event on Father's Day, 6/21/2020. Here is the excerpt from that broadcast.
