From Talking to Taking an Outdoor Adventure

Want to get outdoors with the kids but not sure what activity to engage them in? Let them decide with a little bit of imagination!

The greatest thing about the outdoors is the endless amount of opportunities it gives us all to explore, discover, and learn.

If your children are among the majority of kids nowadays who don’t know how to enjoy the outside, help them learn by talking about and taking them on outdoor adventures.

Let’s Talk

Get your kids talking about the outdoors and adventures they dream of having. They might seem uninterested in going outside, but chances are they just haven’t had much time to think about it in between screen-time and all the distractions thrown at them. Maybe they truly don’t know what kind of adventures await outside. So help get them interested in exploring their world by talking with them about what’s possible. To make the most of your conversation with your kids, follow these tips!
  • Encourage Imagination
Tell kids to close their eyes and imagine their ideal outdoor adventure. Invite them to speak aloud what they’re envisioning and encourage them to see the adventure all the way through in their minds.
  • Brainstorm How to Bring an Adventure to Life
Maybe you can’t scale a mountain with your wide-eyed 3-year-old right now, but you can probably find a playground with a kid-friendly rock wall. And with a little imagination, this can become Mt. Everest!

The outdoors have so much to offer kids from expanding their understanding of the world to inspiring their creativity. It’s our job to make sure they don’t miss out.
