What is the Mini Adventure Challenge all about?

Over the course of five days, we’ll guide you through fun, simple activities designed to get your kids playing outside—first as a family and then eventually on their own! We’ve crafted daily adventures that gradually encourage more independent play, appropriate for different age groups. Whether your kids are toddlers, school-aged, or pre-teens, we’ve got some ideas for every family.

In today's world it's so easy for both kids and parents to default to screens when boredom strikes. But research shows that kids who engage in free play are not only more confident and creative—they also become better problem solvers and are more likely to turn boredom into something positive. By building a foundation of outdoor free play, you’ll help your kiddos develop these important skills from an early age.
