Family Fun
Science has confirmed that spending time outdoors is good for our minds and bodies. Sadly, children today spend less time outside than any other generation before them. We're here to change that.
There are endless benefits to playing outdoors, including promoting an active lifestyle; developing imagination, creativity, and invention; and allowing space for children to navigate risk and problem solve. Next time you’re outdoors with your family, we invite you to ask questions, investigate your surroundings, and play outside—together.
