Take a Child Outside Week
September 24-30, 2011

Take a Child Outside Week is a national, annual event that takes place every year from September 24-30.  It was started as a way to get parents and children interacting together outside.  It is our hope that parents will become more comfortable taking their child outside, and that children will develop a relationship with the natural world.  Parents, please remember – you don’t have to know what things are!  As Rachel Carson says, “It is not half so important to know as to feel.”  So when you are outside with your child, just relax, reconnect with your child, and rekindle your sense of wonder.
