Getting our kids outdoors

Educate in a new way with nature play

Using nature to teach new concepts and to foster class discussion is a highly effective way of increasing student engagement and motivation.

Why is outdoor learning important for your child?

Time spent learning outside and using natural resources supports creativity and problem solving, enhances cognitive functioning, improves academic performance, improves self-discipline and eyesight, and reduces stress. As the time children spend in nature continues to reduce on average, finding more ways for children to regularly spend time in nature is more important than ever.
