Outdoor Education at an Early Age

Most kids today can swipe before they can walk a trail. They know how to scroll, but not how to read clouds. They recognize app icons better than animal tracks. Something’s gone missing, and it’s not in a lost-and-found box. It’s out there. In the mud. In the woods. In the questions that come when there’s nothing else competing for your attention. This is why we go outside. And why we keep going back.
