​

​Why: People who spend frequent time outdoors experience enhanced use of the senses, fewer attention difficulties and decreased rates of physical and emotional illness and obesity. Spending frequent time outdoors is also the best way to develop a connection to nature, which is essential for environmental stewardship.
Having close relationships with important adults also gives children a sense of well-being and confidence that allows them to connect with the world around them.  Learn more about of benefits of CFIN here!
