NATURE PLAY SWIM 33 of summer 2021 (Beaver Lake, Victoria BC)
Play is the business of childhood and playing outdoors in Nature brings out the child in me.
I believe it’s important to remain in touch with our inner-child throughout our lifetime.
It keeps us feeling young and provides us with precious moments of carefree abandon.
Nature Play occurs primarily outside in the natural environment and involves play with natural elements and features like water, rocks, sticks, pine cones, leaves, and shells.
Nature Play is known to promote physical, cognitive, social, and emotional health outcomes.
One of my favorite ways to experience Nature Play is swimming in the ocean or a lake.
