Community Building Through Nature

Bring It Outside (BiO): Helping Families Grow Outside, Together

The Bring It Outside (BiO) program provides simple, low-barrier, and positive opportunities for families to engage in early childhood development through nature. Designed for caregivers with children ages 0-5, BiO helps families:

Build confidence in getting outside with little ones.
Understand and practice the developmental benefits of outdoor play.
Foster environmental awareness and stewardship in early childhood.
Strengthen bonds between caregivers and children through shared nature experiences.

Through engaging curriculum modules, workshops, and community outings, BiO provides connected, accessible programming for families of all backgrounds and abilities.

A Nationally Recognized Program with Local Impact

The Bring It Outside program is a national initiative that has actively worked with rural communities and families, ensuring that outdoor opportunities are accessible to those who need them most.

Served 5,000+ families across 10 communities.
Offered in multiple languages to better serve diverse populations.
Customizable to fit specific community needs.

We work with:

  • Community organizations looking to support early childhood development.
  • Land managers and park agencies to create welcoming, family-friendly spaces.
  • Early childhood support services to integrate BiO into family programming.

Together, we’re bringing families outside in ways that work for them—and ensuring that more children grow up with nature.
