Another article emphasizing the importance of getting kids outside has cropped up recently: Participaction's yearly report card gives Canadian youth a D- for overall activity levels.
They note "Risky outdoor play is not about courting danger – it’s about
play that is thrilling and exciting, such as climbing high,
exploring the woods and rough-housing, where kids
independently test their abilities and limits."
We fully support the report and invite everyone to join the YNC to get a more regular dose of nature exposure!
