California Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights

  In today's frantic and frenzied world, children are prisoners to life inside and regimented schedules. Adults should be responsible for making sure children know how to play outdoors. Know what it means to run, swim, hike, fish, explore and be free -- to be children. 

    Get involved and make the difference in the life of a child. Learn more about the California Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights. Not only will it raise a healthier generation of children, but will improve the lives of adults too!

California Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights 

With recent concerns about youth detachment from outdoor activities, lack of physical exercise and increased health risks, the California Roundtable on Recreation, Parks and Tourism adopted the California Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights for the purpose of recommending a fundamental list of experiences that every child in California would benefit from experiencing, before entering high school.

Numerous studies document that children who do these things are healthier, do better in school, have better social skills and self-image, and lead more fulfilled lives.

Mission
To encourage California’s children to participate in outdoor recreational activities and discover their heritage.

Objective
That every child in California,  have the opportunity to experience each of the activities listed within the California Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights.

Every child should have the opportunity to:

1. Discover California's Past
2. Splash in the water
3. Play in a safe place
4. Camp under the stars
5. Explore nature
6. Learn to swim
7. Play on a team
8. Follow a trail
9. Catch a fish
10. Celebrate their heritage

Take your children, and yourself, outside into the GREAT outdoors.
