The value of outdoor adventures, little or large, cannot be underestimated. Sure, experiencing new and fun adventures with your child is rewarding and memorable, but the value of outdoor adventures goes way beyond building a bank of rose-tinted memories. Active outdoor adventures are known to bring real health and developmental benefits to children. According to child psychologist, Dr. Mandy Bryon, when children are allowed to experience risk, even in a controlled way, it helps develop their ability to deal with adversity and build self-confidence. It encourages them to think for themselves and develop resilience. It readies them for dealing with risks and uncertainties that are part of the big wondrous world. So we ask, who doesn’t want more active, healthy, resilient, confident and independent children?
