Chose Your Approach

Activity-based PlayTherapy

Engage in healing through play

According to Harvard Medical School, there are actually six reasons your children need to play in nature:

  1. Sunshine is important for Vitamin D
  2. Exercise outdoors encourages more active play compared to indoor activities.
  3. Unstructured play outdoors improves includes problem-solving, prioritizing, and troubleshooting skills.
  4. Outdoor play can encourage youngins & adults to take risks and learn through failure.

Being with nature encourages an appreciation for the environment and a greater sense of responsibility to protect it. (Scavenger Hunt)
