Your children need contact with nature!

A growing body of research demonstrates that "children are smarter, more cooperative, happier and healthier" when they have frequent opportunities for play in the outdoors, according to the Children & Nature Network. Our School-year Youth Programs help get kids playing in the woods again (while secretly learning from nature at the same time, with the guidance of our mentors).
