Room to Roam: Exploring Nature Play in Everyday Life

Join us for a free, relaxed fireside conversation to learn about nature play and how families can make more room for it in daily life. Led by child development expert Dr. Sarah Stone, Ph.D., this gathering invites parents and caregivers to explore why unstructured outdoor play matters, what children gain from time spent exploring the natural world, and why a little boredom and risk-taking can be good for kids.

The conversation will also focus on practical ideas families can use right away. You don’t need a free afternoon or a planned outing to give your kids more chances to explore. Dr. Stone will share simple ways to encourage curiosity and independence outdoors, including in the places you already spend time, like the trails and open spaces at Terraine.

Kids are welcome to attend! Space is limited to keep the conversation small and personal.
