🌲 Embracing Outdoor Adventure: Building Skills and Memories 🌳 Hey LinkedIn community! 👋 As a passionate advocate for both education and outdoor exploration, I believe in the incredible benefits it brings to families. Here are five positive outcomes for families embracing outdoor adventure and exploration: 1️⃣ **Skill Development:** Want your children to build skills? Model them early. Outdoor activities foster resilience, problem-solving, and teamwork. 2️⃣ **Identity Formation:** When your family prioritizes outdoor adventures, children internalize it as a part of who they are, shaping a positive self-identity. 3️⃣ **Connection with Nature:** Outdoor exploration nurtures a deep connection with nature, promoting environmental awareness and appreciation. 4️⃣ **Physical Health:** Active outdoor play contributes to the physical well-being of children, fostering a love for an active lifestyle from a young age. 5️⃣ **Family Bonding:** Creating memories in nature strengthens family bonds, providing shared experiences that last a lifetime. Let's inspire a new generation of nature enthusiasts! 🌿✨ #OutdoorAdventure #FamilyExploration #NatureConnection #ChildDevelopment #EunoiaForestSchool

I would argue that heading out in the wintry cold weather is almost more important than any other time of the year. We just don't do it enough. #getoutside #getoutdoors #eunoiaforestschool #outdooreducation #winterwellness #natureeducation #natureschool #forestschool #foresteducation #alternativeeducation #educators #outdooreducators #adventureeducation #teachers #educators #earlychildhoodeducator #outdoorlearning #outdooradventures #outdoorindustry #outdoorplay

I’m happy you’re all here! ❤️

What does wonder and engagement look like to you?

I’m happy to share that I’ve completed my Forest School Practitioners Certification with the Child and Nature Alliance of Canada!

While the blue pumpkin in recent years signifies children who may be using various communication styles and therefore may not say “trick or treat” or “thank you” verbally - I want you to question why this may be important for your Halloween experience as a treat giver. Let’s just assume the good and differentiate without knowing a child’s full story. *If you’re a parent and love this tradition and it’s made your trick or treating experience less stressful, please know that your choice is valid and respected as the parent of your child!
