Some work two or even three jobs just to be able to provide their kids with health care. Having this type of programming available to these children, as well as the more affluent, makes a big difference. There are many parents who work and just don’t have the time, unfortunately.

Those kids need to have the opportunity to get what their families may be unable to provide. I taught a summer ecology program for inner city kids and it was an amazing experience to teach them about the natural world- they started off being freaked out by everything but quickly got really, really into the woods/streams/rocks/dirt like they'd been doing it all their lives. It was one of the more beautiful things I've seen. I cannot support programs like this more. They are SO important for connecting kids to the 'real world'!

Obviously I think parents have a much greater influence on the amount of time kids spend outdoors than any government program but it is a great step in the right direction. What a great program.
