Imagination Grove
Imagination Grove is a place
where kids can be kids, designed
to form a bond between children
and nature that lasts a lifetime!
A Walk in the Deep Woods


Played outside for
hours or until the street
lights came on



Finished your
homework quickly so
that you could go play
outside



Had a secret hideout,
built forts, made stew,
dug for worms, went for
bike rides…
The Importance of Connecting
Children with Nature
YIKES!






On average, children spend 30 minutes of
unstructured time outdoors each week.
Children ages 8-10 spend an average of 6
hours a day staring at a screen…watching
TV, playing video games, using computers,
and listening to audio media.
A child is six times more likely to play a
video game that ride a bike.
Growing body of research data about the
positive impacts of frequent,
unstructured play in natural spaces on
children’s social, emotional, intellectual,
and physical well-being
Don’t forget…
influence on the life-long conservation
values and behaviors
Nature Play


Not scheduled,
planned, or led by
adults.



Open-ended, freetime exploration and
recreation without
close adult
supervision.
Help Us Dig to China!
Time Spent Outdoors Shapes Character,
Health, & Environmental Attitudes.
