Give your kids less screen time and more green time!
Outdoor Science Explorers (OSE) is a seasonal enrichment program that gets kids outside playing, adventuring, and learning. This nature immersion program for kids 5-11 years old is designed to build self-reliance and social skills, and increase knowledge of local plants and animals.
OSE can help get kids moving and exploring outside. Kids today spend more time than ever in front of a screen. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) a recent study found that kids ages 8-18 years spend an average of 7 hours a day looking at screens! The AAP also states that excessive screen time contributes to obesity, irregular sleep patterns, impaired academic performance and issues with social skills, emotional awareness and attention spans.
