You may have seen people wandering around with T-shirts on displaying the Take Me Outside phrase and wondered to yourself what it’s all about.

Here’s what they have to say about what they are trying to achieve.

We believe in the power of outdoor experiential learning. We believe in the countless benefits that having a relationship with nature brings. We believe in getting youth outside and active and hope to promote this message through various means of advocacy, including an apparel initiative to get students outside of the classroom.  Take Me Outside is a non profit organization whose next project is to run across Canada, encouraging youth to get outside, be active and reconnect with nature.

Take Me Outside provides innovative, experiential programs and activities that engage youth in the natural environment.  We introduce them to a world beyond the “screen” with fun and educational programs that will inspire them to get out and get active. We are finding solutions for nature deficit disorder by inspiring individual responsibility among youth and forming partnerships with parents, teachers and communities to evoke change.
