Some General Info…
Geared towards kids ages 7 and up, this bi-monthly magazine will feature and promote living in our rural community. Orange County and the surrounding areas have a rich history, interesting and diverse career opportunities and a tremendous wealth of knowledge and resources. All of which is too often overlooked and under-appreciated.
The purpose of this publication is to spark some interest in the riches of this area especially for our future businessmen and women. This will be a magazine written for -and by- our youth – it is an opportunity for our future writers, photographers, artists, etc. to begin their public career, to share unique experiences and to make friends!
The featured articles of the magazine are centered around the learning expeditions, each of which children are invited and encouraged to participate in. Information on joining the group is included in the magazine. Each edition of the magazine will focus on the plans and purpose for the coming expedition as well as the outcome of the previous one.
The magazine will also feature reader mail, Oorange oddities, local news bits, “Say What?”, an historical tidbit, a reader photo gallery, a reader pet gallery, a family-friendly restaurant, a featured job interview, a youth profile, community service suggestions and more.
It is the mission of Orange Explorers to:
- nourish and encourage growth, learning and sharing while providing a foundation for exploration and discovery.
- work with local experts and resources to create tailored, hands-on learning experiences to be shared through the printed magazine with additional resources on an accompanying website
- provide a foundation for exploration and discovery
