Summer is in full swing! We wanted to share a few resources from our outdoor learning partners to ensure you have the most enjoyable, safe, and fun season you can while spending time outside. Whether you’re camping, at the beach, in the park or your backyard – or anywhere else you enjoy! – we hope you’re soaking up the season and all it has to offer us.
The Child & Nature Alliance of Canada has great resources for beating the heat – check out their interactive resource “Thrive Outside” for more! Click on each photo below to view it more clearly.

OutGrown (formally Hike It Baby) has this beginner’s guide available in both English (below), and Spanish. 
Have you found any other resources or activities you’ve been loving for the season so far? Let us know in the comments!
