Take a Child Outside Week September 24—September 30 Annually
Take A Child Outside Week is a program designed to help break
down obstacles that keep children from discovering the natural
world. By arming parents, teachers and other caregivers with
resources on outdoor activities, our goal is to help children
across the country develop a better understanding and
appreciation of the environment in which they live, and a
burgeoning enthusiasm for its exploration. - connects children
