I remember a childhood of rock hopping up creeks and fort building in the woods—that time was instrumental in all aspects of my growth and identity as a person. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to discover, learn and play in nature. Time outside supports cognitive, emotional and social growth; helps to show youth that everything is connected; and ensures that we have future stewards to teach generations to come.
