Growing Up Green - Stonewall

Class Description

Growing up Green is a parent and child together program, using nature as a learning tool, and encourages families to go outside and explore. Through movement, rhymes, books and nature-based learning activities, families will gain an appreciation for the world around them. Families will experience the joys of learning together while gaining the tools to foster their connection to nature and the environment. Playing outdoors is an essential experience for all children, an important part of childhood. Statistics show that today’s kids have a tendency to swap active, outdoor play for screen time, causing a more sedentary lifestyle with consequences for their health and overall well-being. Research continues to show that nature reduces stress, increases attention span, fosters healthy brain development, improves physical wellbeing as well as many other benefits! Please note: This program will be a mixture of indoor/outdoor time weather dependent!
