Nature
Get Outdoors with Kids Family
Summer is in full swing and warm sunshine is just
calling our names -- reminding us all it's time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and PLAY, no matter how old or young. National Get Outdoors Day, celebrated earlier in June, included a series of
events offering traditional and nontraditional outdoor activities across the
nation, including free admission to any national park
on that day for families to inspire them to explore and find a
park or other natural space closer to home. Now, Discover the Forest is extending the fun and public awareness.

In the spirit of encouraging you and your kids -- as well as friends, family, and others -- to enjoy the outdoors this summer, this organization is inviting you to share your family fun with @DiscovertheForest on Instagram using the hashtag #ForestFotog. And to add to the excitement, they'll be posting creative forest photos and asking followers to replicate the photo with their family and participate using #Getoutdoors16.
DiscoverTheForest.org highlights urban forests and parks that people may not even realize are right around the corner. These “naturehoods” are just a short-drive away, making it easy for families to unplug from the daily routine and reconnect with nature. In our area, there are many public parks that offer a variety of free outdoor play equipment and playgrounds that will keep kids entertained for hours.

Fresh Air, Getting Outside is Healthy
Research has shown children who play
outside have lower stress levels and more active imaginations, become fitter
and leaner, develop stronger immune systems and are more likely to become
environmentally conscious in the future. It is also great for the health of
parents, grandparents, other family members and everyone else to get out and follow along!
