But why is it so important?

1. Encourages Healthy Habits

Active days out help create a positive association with movement and the outdoors, setting the foundation for a healthier lifestyle. Kids are more likely to stay active when it’s fun – and what’s better than learning that exercise doesn’t have to be boring?

This May, ditch the screens, embrace the outdoors, and create moments that your family will talk about for years.

2. Boosts Mental Health & Wellbeing

Spending time together as a family -especially in nature – helps reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation for both kids and adults. Outdoor play naturally lift moods and promote mindfulness, helping everyone feel more connected and relaxed.

3. Builds Stronger Relationships

Quality time doing fun activities as a group strengthens family bonds. Whether you’re working together to build a den or cheering each other on at the climbing wall, these shared experiences build trust, communication, and a sense of teamwork that carries over into everyday life.
