Families who enjoy the outdoors should not be limited and Access Sport Adventures provides an avenue for you and your whole family to explore!Research shows that experiences in nature offer a wide array of emotional, social, spiritual and academic benefits. Individuals who spend time outdoors exhibit improved attentiveness, heath and wellness. Exposure to nature also fosters motor development, self esteem, and overall improved health. Outdoor experiences at an early age develop lifelong caring and stewardship for the planet—an important skill in these environmentally challenged times.
