On Jan. 20, 2010, the Foundation was thrilled to participate in a webinar hosted by KaBOOM! titled Nature Play Rocks! Here's the description: Do you remember playing outside with your siblings and friends? Perhaps you spent hours building a fort, climbing a tree or digging in the dirt. Unfortunately for today's children, opportunities for outdoor play have been replaced with memories of electronic games, sporting events and test preparation. According to the Children & Nature Network and recent studies, children are smarter, cooperative, happier and healthier when they have regular opportunities to engage freely in unstructured outdoor play. If you're looking to learn about nature play and practice easy ways to create, facilitate and maintain nature play opportunities please, join us. Our guest presenter will be Melissa Hanson President of the Säjai® Foundation - dedicated to educating children about how to live healthy lives by encouraging them to get outdoors, to get active and to make smart nutrition decisions.
