Take Them Out

Let's take them out to the rivers and forests, the mountains and the oceans. Let's let them daydream for hours at a time. Let's let them experience boredom and, in so doing, give them a fertile seedbed for imagination, play, and wonder. Let's let them swim in the creeks, run in the fields, get dirty, stay up late to see the stars, and catch bullfrogs with their bare hands. - Ainsley Arment

Natural World

In an era where our lives are becoming more digitized by the day, our children need time to explore the natural world. They need contact with living things, fresh air in their lungs, and an understanding of what sustains them. - Ainsley Arment

Being Outdoors

Children come alive by being outdoors. It awakens their minds, centers their hearts, and gives them depth of soul. It's not an abandonment of academic work but rather a help to it. - Ainsley Arment, Call of the Wild + Free
