Nature has what local kids want
Some claim kids don't want to go outside. They lament the lure of the Wii and Game Boy.
But don't let that fool you. Kids love the outdoors. No matter their age, socio-economic status, or background, children are happier when they play outside.
Increasing numbers of studies show that in addition to just plain having fun, children and teens physically learn better, think more creatively, and feel healthier when they get a daily dose of outside time.
