BioEducation Outdoors inc. is a brand new company consisting of Tim Paczesny and myself Jesse Denherder. Tim is the founder, inventor, creator, marketing director, publisher, sales manager & president; I am the Illustrator, graphic designer, marketing guy, sales & part time shipping guy. We have just created our first board game, CAMP “the game that grows with you”. The vision behind CAMP is to bring families together by educating them about the great outdoors. Tim Paczesny (an avid outdoorsman and family man) created CAMP out of his passion for nature and a true desire to reconnect the family unit.
Education Outdoors Inc. was created by Tim Paczesny in 2005. Before Education Outdoors, Tim had founded a non-profit organization called “The League of Extraordinary Outdoorsmen”. The League organized a family fishing day once a year that was held during the free fishing weekend in Michigan. During this event, Tim realized the need to educate children and their families about the outdoors. The motivating factor to this initial realization occurred while Tim was gathering Morel mushrooms with his wife and two daughters in Northern Michigan. Tim’s daughter noticed an animal track on the ground and asked her dad what it could be. He told her that it was a raccoon track. “Dad, how did you learn all the things you know about nature?” With that question, Education Outdoors Inc. was created and its first educational board game was about to be developed. During the winter of 2005 and into 2006, Tim was dedicated to making his dream become a reality. He finished 400 questions and 100 fun facts about animals and the great outdoors. This completed the first game called “Camp— The Game That Grows With You”.
With the average child watching over 20 hours a week in television and with statistics showing violent images shown on t.v. reaching over 8,000 per child, Education Outdoors Inc. has really been embraced by families that long for a refreshing change in the types of products available to their children. We are so grateful to all the people who have helped our mission to create a company commited to reconnecting family and re-sparking our youth's interest in the great outdoors. In the near future we are planning to give a percentage of profits back to organizations commited to our mission.
Thanks for all of your support.
