Take a Child Outside Week
September 24September 30, 2008
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!
