Description
Wise Kids Outdoors gets kids outdoors and unplugged. Delivered through out of school time programs, Wise Kids Outdoors inspires kids, through adventure, to explore nature while learning to eat right and be active. Trained staff focus on helping kids be prepared to go outdoors, have great outdoor experiences and make outdoors a part of a child’s everyday life. The central concept is Energy Balance: Calories In = Calories Out. Throughout the nine sessions, children learn that we all – humans and everything living in the world around us – need to live in balance. Through understanding, kids learn to become active stewards of the natural world as they lead healthier lives. The nine important topics Energy Balance, The Earth in Balance, The Three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Food & Nature: Working Together, Where Does Your Food Come From?, Get Ready, Get Set…Be Prepared, Finding the Cool Stuff – Maps, Changing Seasons, Changing Fun and Weather, Working Together. Using the Learn – Do – Play model students will be provided key concepts through self-directed activities. Group participation creates opportunity for children to find a “voice” to express concepts in their own words. And physical activities get kids moving for 30 minutes each session. Weekly challenges help children begin making wise choices on their own, reminding them to think about balance every day.

Students Will
  • Opportunity to explore Nature in a safe environment
  • Engage in interesting first experiences that will instill a love of nature
