Today, less than 20% of children play outside compared to over 70% of their parents.

On average, today’s children spend 4-7 minutes of unrestricted outdoor play and 7.5 hours in front of electronics.

I recently learned these two pieces of information from a new subscription box service called Think Outside Boxes.  I know you probably agree with me here: That’s just not acceptable!

Think Outside Boxes are geared toward kids ages 7+, and encourage kids to explore the outdoors, learn survival skills, and get curious and confident outside.

Join us here on YouTube to learn more about Think Outside’s first box:

Quick Facts about Think Outside Boxes:

• Boxes are designed for kids 7 years to mid-teens.
• For the first month, kids receive a backpack (color of your choice!) and a few other small pieces of gear, plus an activity booklet to guide them.
• The boxes that follow are based on a theme such as stars, water, and fire, and include up to 5 pieces of outdoor gear, an activity booklet, and reference cards!
• Visit the Think Outside Box subscribe page for more details, but for the full year program, boxes are $31.95 per month.
