From the Take A Child Outside website:
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
At TakeaChildOutside.org you can:
- pledge to take a child outside and record your outdoor experiences
- get ideas for outdoor activities
- find participating organizations in your area
Note: There is a Red Rock Audubon Society field trip to Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve scheduled for 9/24.
