Time outside is just as vital for kids in the winter as it is in the summer. Yet kids spend, on average, less than 10 minutes per day outside. It is our goal that by sharing what we know and practice, we may break down some of those barriers to getting kids outside in the winter.

 

In this 45-minute online workshop, Effie of Maine Outdoor Kids and Jill of Outdoor Movement Project will discuss how to prepare the kids in your care for fun outdoor experiences in the colder months.

​

Topics covered include:

• Layering: which clothes to invest in

• Food: fuel for cold weather

• Winter emergency kits

• Attitude: keeping kids motivated to stay outside

• Balance: limiting screen time, using the Tech-No Box

• Building an outdoor community
