The long summer days bring a certain kind of splendor. They ignite creativity, allow friendships to form, memories to be made. And one of summer’s many luxuries is extended time to explore nature.

There’s something about the outdoors that makes us feel more alive. Something as simple as seeing how your shadow falls upon the grass or swimming in a lake to cool off enables you to notice the world around you. Time outdoors nurtures curiosity—in kids and adults. From critters crawling in the soil to the variations of green in the treetops, there’s always something to discover.

You were made for this.
