Getting Kids Outdoors Event

  

Studies show outdoor time helps children stay healthier, enhances their imaginations and attention spans, boosts classroom performance, and fosters a lifelong appreciation of the environment.

 

The "Getting Kids Outside Forum" is a free event on October 28th, providing an opportunity for parents, educators, community leaders, and decision makers to discuss best practices for instilling an appreciation for the outdoors in our youth.
