Outdoor activities are highly encouraged for reasons such as improvement of health, well-being, and learning capabilities. A number of initiatives have been taken to encourage implementing outdoor activities in school programmes. Parental concerns over the safety of outdoor activities should be addressed. More resources and training are needed to encourage outdoor activities. Similarly, research is needed on how outdoor learning benefits school children over the long term. Taking factors such as gender, socioeconomic status, and minority groups should be considered in evaluating outdoor activities and education.
