Join us for an conversation with Rusty Keeler, designer, author, and Vice President of the International Play Association, as we discuss into the transformative power of natural and risky play for children. Ahead of his visit to the Harley School on May 1st and 2nd, Rusty shares his passion for connecting kids with nature through play spaces filled with loose parts and opportunities for adventure. We explore how embracing appropriate risks fosters crucial developmental skills, chat about the challenges of screen-dominated childhoods, and uncover practical ways parents and educators can encourage meaningful outdoor experiences. Learn how simple elements like dirt, trees, and even scrap materials can spark imagination, build independence, and contribute to children's overall well-being.
