WHITE MOUNTAIN PLAYSCAPES

We support a global movement of leaders working to turn the trend of an indoor childhood back out to the benefits of nature — and to make sure that all children have equitable access to outdoor spaces where they can learn, play and grow.

The entire purpose of 1000 Hours Outside is to attempt to match nature time with screen time. If kids can consume media through screens 1200 hours a year on average then the time is there and at least some of it can and should be shifted towards a more productive and healthy outcome!

Children’s behavior may suffer from lack of access to outdoor space, a problem heightened by the pandemic.

It turns out play with an element of risk may be exactly what today’s kids are missing.
