Nature has such a powerful – yet calming -- effect that kids say they don’t miss their phones when they are outdoors.

You read that correctly.

“I like how I can experience the world around me without being on an electronic
device,” says first-time Footpath Foundation camper Ayden, 12.

Kids like Ayden say they feel a double dose of tranquility when Footpath lets them
enjoy nature without the distractions of phones or laptops.

Making those outdoor connections is so important: Children who lack these experiences suffer from a lowerability to cope with stress, poor academic performance, poor attention spans and increased rates of depression.

The good news is you can help children access the natural world.

Please make a gift today to provide children the outdoor connections they deserve and
need. Your donation will help give kids important experiences in nature, including
camping, hiking, canoeing and swimming, plus educational programs that spawn
curiosity about the natural world.

Getting kids outdoors is essential to their well-being. You can make a difference in the
life of a child.

Sincerely,

Mary Macias, CEO

P.S. Please consider making a gift of $100 or more today.
