Wise Kids® Outdoors
The Wise Kids Outdoors program is an evaluated after-school and summer camp program which offers children an opportunity to explore the world of nature while teaching them about the importance of eating right and being physically active. Each Wise Kids Outdoors session sends them on outdoor adventure missions, guided by trained staff. Missions teach them about critters and bugs, the weather, how to safely explore in the outdoors, stewardship principals of reducing and reusing, and caring for the earth. The concept of Energy Balance is woven into each lesson to inspire wise nutrition and activity choices. They will come away with a better understanding of how both humans and nature need to live in balance to be healthy. Most importantly, they will get outside and begin to reconnect to the world around them.
