Exploring Outside the 303
Two young children, a boy and a girl, are standing in the entrance of a large rocky cave or cavern. The cave opening is partially obscured by fallen logs, rocks, and lush green foliage including ferns. The inside of the cave appears dark and mysterious. The children are bundled up in hooded jackets or coats, likely to protect against the damp, cool conditions. They seem to be exploring and adventuring in this natural setting, perhaps on a hiking trip or outdoor excursion. The scene conveys a sense of discovery and appreciation for the wonders of nature.

Benefits of Outdoor Learning Experiences

Don't just tell your children about the world, show them šŸ„¾ā  ā  Every week we go on a field trip and explore as a part of our homeschooling. Hands on learning gives freedom and responsibility to learn through real experiences, rather than simply reading or listening to somebody else. ā  ā  One benefit of this type of learning it to nurture a love for the environment around us whether it's a city or national park, or learning about history at the actual place it happened. ā  ā  While a weekly field trip may not be feasible, a monthly trip exploring your local area would add so much to any school aged kid. ā  ā  Here are few field trip ideas that cost nothing:ā  ā—¾ Local park to scout for plant life or animalsā  ā—¾ Historic monuments, statues, and memorialsā  ā—¾ Hikingā  ā—¾ Zoos, Gardens, and Museums on free daysā  ā—¾ State and National Parks on free daysā  ā  With the holidays coming up it would be a great idea to ask for memberships to a zoo, museum, or a national park and state park pass so you can enjoy them all year long. ā  ā  ā“What kind on memberships do you get every yearā“ā  ā  šŸ’ @exploringoutsidethe303ā
