Jewish Chicago: Nature is Essential for Growing Healthy Kids

Exciting opportunity to spend meaningful time in nature through The Outpost Village. There’s something special that happens when we’re out in nature. It’s when many of us, especially children, feel most alive. But the reality is that children these days spend so much time indoors, in front of screens, stranded away from the natural world. As a result, they are not gaining the wholistic life experience that nature can bring.

Nature provides an uncharted world where a young mind can grow. There, imagination can run wild, and children can gain the creativity, confidence, and new skills that help develop social emotional growth. Through building new worlds in the middle of the woods–whether it’s constructing a stick fort or forging a new trail–children can exercise their creative minds uninhibited, allowing for exponential creative growth.
