Forestville, WI (March 9, 2023) – Everyone agrees that kids need to spend more time outside. And now, more than ever, that requires some effort given the urge to stay indoors immersed in video games, streaming video, texting, and social media.
Not to say that’s all bad. Video games sharpen hand-eye coordination, teach strategy, and when played live, even promote teamwork. Streaming television brims with educational material. Texting, frankly, is modern communication. And in moderation, social media provides real-time updates on friends, family, and even news and events.
But alone, a childhood spent inside is one-dimensional. Seeing a fish on your smartphone is one thing – finding, catching, and releasing, or cooking, quite another.
