Play is how humans learn about themselves and the world around them.

Playing in nature provides rich sensory experiences that light up our brains, supporting all aspects of development, from mental to physical to social-emotional.

Being outdoors calms our stress response, lowers cortisol, and makes us feel happier and more connected. Nature play is not just for kids. As we age, we still crave movement, laughter, joy, and connection. All of this (and more) can happen through play, but the benefits increase exponentially when that play happens in an immersive outdoor setting.
