Sometimes the best way to see if a place is worth visiting with kids is to read what other kids have to say about it.
Our Young Correspondents are carefully chosen students, in the third through the ninth grades, who have an interest in travel, learning new things, and writing.
Our Young Correspondents write reviews of great places to visit in Colorado. The length of the reviews and the content varies, depending on the grade level of the student.
They must actually visit reviewed places themselves, either with their own families or with friends and their families. If they’ve visited more than once, all the better.
Hopeful contributors must submit an outline of their piece for approval before being considered as a Young Correspondent.
Young Correspondents are expected to contribute some illustration of their piece to enhance understanding of the subject matter. Illustrations may come in the form of photographic images, drawings, or paintings.
We hope that by adding the works of Young Correspondents to FamilyTravelColorado.com, that we are helping our readers as they plan great Colorado vacations with their own kids.
