Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights
Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights
What is It?
Part of the National No Child Left Inside movement, Lansing has adopted an Outdoor Bill of Rights for Children as a way to get kids and families energized about getting off the couch, away from the TV, and exploring the great out-of-doors. Lansing has 1,800 acres of park land; dozens of activities, programs and special events designed for outdoor fun and fitness; all waiting for YOU.
How Does the Program Work?
Each right will contain programs that will strengthen the awareness of Lansing’s youth to the outdoors. After participating in an outdoor program, you will be given a wristband pertaining to the right that the program falls under. Once a wristband is collected from each of the ten rights, you will receive a t-shirt and a certificate that signifies the completion of the program.
