WHY NATURE PLAY IS GREAT FOR KIDS AND TEENS

DEVELOPMENTAL SKILLS, PHYSICAL, MENTAL, & SOCIAL WELL-BEING

Our Nature Play Programs Nature play embodies play-based learning by integrating fun and engaging activities into natural settings. Play-based learning is a pedagogical approach where children learn through play, which is essential for their development. Nature play as a form of play-based learning involves a mix of physical activity, exploration, creativity, and social interaction in outdoor environments.

Nature play–fun, healthful, physically and emotionally stimulating activities–is the perfect way for children to learn and grow. These experiences provide many developmental and health benefits while imparting life lessons not readily found elsewhere.
