Outdoor Play

Is your community creating opportunities for outdoor play?

The kids in your community are counting on you and other leaders in your community to foster an environment where outdoor play is allowed to thrive.

So, what is outdoor play anyway? We like to think of it in terms of experiences. It’s the times you went out with your friends and hit the toboggan hill without an adult in sight, the times you ran near the dugout catching frogs, and the time you created new games from scratch, making rules up as you went.

Chances are, most of us have a story like this from our childhood. We learned from these experiences—things like how to have fun and be creative, how to work as a team and build social bonds. Our self-esteem grew, we learned how to cope in all kinds of situations, and we developed strong fit bodies for the next adventure.

The kids we care about today just aren’t moving enough and they face a number of barriers to playing adventurously. They face more limits and a lack of independence in their play times.

As leaders, we are inviting you to complete this survey. Your input is very important. You are the experts in your sector.
