Epic Family Road Trip: Jeep Journeys with a CARE Mindset
Main focus
Epic Family Road Trip follows the van Stralen family as they travel by Jeep across North America and beyond. Road routes, hikes, local encounters, and community-minded projects shape a family adventure series guided by work, play, and care.
Why it matters
Families planning a road-based adventure can find ideas for combining outdoor time, destination stops, and shared experiences. The travel stories extend beyond scenic routes, giving attention to local people, environmental efforts, and ways to leave places better than they were found.
Style
Jeep travel and family participation provide the throughline, moving between long-distance drives, hikes, and on-the-ground encounters. The tone is upbeat and values-led, with travel presented as both an adventure and an opportunity for practical care.
Consistency
Years of family travel create a broad mix of North American road trips, international journeys, outdoor activities, and service-oriented experiences. The range suits viewers who enjoy travel storytelling with both destination and purpose in view.

Editorial note
