Venture Outdoors
It’s a cold, November afternoon. It’s sunny and students at Phillips Recreation Center know they have Venture Outdoors today. “Are we going outside?” they ask cheerfully. “Yes, we are!”
As temperatures drop and Pittsburgh starts to see snow, Venture Outdoors will continue going outdoors with students because the benefits of the great outdoors never stops. To name a few, getting outdoors increases attention span, decreases stress, allows kids to learn new skills, and practice creativity and problem solving.
