Weekend Learning Activities

Weekend Learning Activities

Mother Nature is a great teacher and getting kids outside to learn and play is good for their brains and their bodies.

Contact with nature is more essential today given that children are spending nearly 8 hours a day using entertainment media and only 6 percent of children ages 9-13 play outside on their own. We are at risk of losing an entire generation’s appreciation for how nature works and what it needs to remain healthy and productive.

How?

By providing educators with the tools, training and resources they need to bring the environment into their classrooms, and their students into the environment.

By adapting its activities for families to use with children, to help them get outdoors to experience nature and learn about trees and forests.
