Take a Child Outside Week

September 24—September 30 Annually

Take A Child Outside Week is a program designed to help break down obstacles that keep children from discovering the natural world. By arming parents, teachers and other caregivers with resources on outdoor activities, our goal is to help children across the country develop a better understanding and appreciation of the environment in which they live, and a burgeoning enthusiasm for its exploration.

Going outside:

• connects children to the natural world
• helps kids focus in school
• reduces chances of obesity

So take a child outside!

Visit this site so you can:

• pledge to take a child outside and record your outdoor experiences

Come, be a part of this national movement!
