Through the summer, Active for Life is publishing free weekly “Day Camp At Home” activity plans for busy families like yours.

Instead of dwelling on what we can’t do this summer, we’re going to use the next two months of unscheduled days as an opportunity.

Growing up, my son just wasn’t into in sports. I’ve since learned that sports are just one way to be active—and that physical activity should be enjoyable.

These active toys and games will nudge your children off the couch and out the door to play, move, and have fun this summer.

I’m a risk-taker, while my husband is much more risk-averse. The lifeguard approach to risky play can help reduce conflict between you and your partner.

The Explore Your 2.4 program encourages children to get outdoors, explore their neighbourhoods, and spend more time in independent play.

These toys offer many great options for encouraging young children’s sensory play and brain development—and they’ll help promote physical literacy.

These creative and explorative nature activities will help you and your kids get outside, learn new things, and have fun together.

There’s no doubt that as you age, you have to adapt how you can be active. But getting active as a family doesn’t have to be difficult or strenuous.

Kids who play sports have better health, happiness and social habits
