We all intrinsically know that playing outside is beneficial for our kids...but do we know just HOW beneficial it is? Did you know, for example, that there are not only physical and health benefits to being outdoors but even psychological, social and spiritual benefits?

We can't wait to share our tips and tricks for getting outside more!
