Outdoor play fosters and encourages children and adults to enjoy and benefit from unstructured play. This is the essence of the work of a child. Unstructured play is when a child learns they are capable.
Children are able to own their experiences, capable of being creative, capable of being curious, capable of getting their needs met, capable of problem solving and probably most important, capable of taking on appropriate risks.
