Loving Outside

"To sum it up, getting outdoors is simply good for everyone. It helps combat stress, build community, and keep your mind and body healthy. But it takes encouragement from inside homes, schools, and the community to get people outside. Organizations across the globe are actively focusing on ways to get children outdoors and make the experience more accessible. Programs like Kids in Parks, where we provide a cost-effective intervention to address these issues. Our initiatives encourage and support active family engagement, increase trail use, and introduce recreational opportunities available in parks, forests, and communities. Yet, even simple outdoor experiences, led by parents and guardians, can have lasting impacts on children, boosting all dimensions of wellness. And over time, experiences in the outdoors can become second nature to both children and families. "
