MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK

Outdoor experiences for children: whether cycling by the lake, camping in the forest, hiking in the mountains, spending the night in a self-built hut or igloo in their own camp, climbing rocks, canoeing on the river, or trekking. In this book, you will find numerous tips on equipment and safety, and practical instructions for outdoor adventures with children.

A book for unforgettable outdoor experiences with children:

This book vividly and practically presents a wealth of ideas for unforgettable outdoor experiences with children in every season. It also includes various bushcraft techniques such as carving, cooking over a campfire, or gold panning. The outdoor ideas in this book are aimed equally at parents, educators, and leaders of youth groups.

This book is not intended to be a classic guide, but rather an encouragement to spend more time with children outdoors in the forest, by the lake, or in the mountains. Nicolas Lätt, a trained teacher, experiential educator, outdoor guide, former top rower, and author, is a father himself. He spends almost every free minute with his children outdoors in nature. Because children love outdoor adventures.

Outdoor activities: good for children's health and development

Outdoor activities are not only fun for children, but they are also good for their health and development. Playing outdoors in nature, in the forest or in the mountains, stimulates all their senses, promotes practical skills and physical activity, strengthens their immune system, and makes them more self-confident and independent.

Outdoor with children: all year round

Parents feel they have to encourage their children very early on. This leaves no time for free play. Yet, this is enormously important for children's development. Children learn more sustainably when they have fun and can gain experiences themselves. The outdoor activities suggested in this book aim to promote precisely this free play.

With the practical tips and instructions in this book, playing outdoors with children is possible all year round: camping in the forest in spring, hiking along a river in summer, cycling by the lake in autumn, camping in the mountains with their own igloo in winter. Outdoor activities for happy children.
