Being outside and enjoying nature benefits kids’ bodies and brains. It also helps them learn more about nature’s wonders and builds a deeper connection to the outdoors.
Visiting your local park, walking on the beach or making art with nature items you find around your yard are easy (and free) ways to spend time outside.
The Gulf Coast has plenty of places that will get your kid learning and enjoying nature hands-on including outdoors camps, hiking trails and local nature centers.
