“My friends and I used to ride our bikes down to the town store without an adult at age 8. My husband remembers riding his bike off their dock with his brothers to see if they could pedal at the bottom of the lake.” - Angela Hanscom

What did you do as a child that might be considered dangerous today?

🏖️ A little glue, a little sand, and a whole lot of creativity!

Pathfinders took their beach art to the park and added real sand to their beach scenes. Hands-on art is always more fun outside! ☀️🎨🌿

🌲 “They’re just playing…” ❤️

…but here’s what we see. 👀

When we’re out in the woods or exploring the field, our preschoolers are:

🍄 Turning over logs to discover bugs and asking a million questions.
🏃 Running, climbing, balancing, and getting those wiggles out.
🤝 Working together to build forts, solve problems, and make new games.
🌼 Collecting leaves, flowers, sticks, and rocks for their next big idea.
💭 Using their imaginations to turn a stick into a fishing pole, magic wand, or dinosaur bone.
💪 Building confidence by trying new things and learning what their bodies can do.

Every muddy shoe, grass stain, and pocket full of treasures is packed with learning! 🌿

The best part? They’re having so much fun they don’t even realize they’re building kindergarten skills.

Around here, getting outside isn’t a break from learning…it’s one of the best ways we learn! 💚
