⚠️ 4–7 minutes. That’s how little time most kids spend outside in unstructured play every day. Can we all agree we need to change that statistic?? Not with guilt, but with invitation to connect–connect with nature, with ourselves, and with each other.

Summer camp should be a space where kids grow, make memories, and feel safe. 💙
