Join ARPA as we celebrate the many ways recreation and parks enhance quality of life in Alberta. June is a perfect time to get kids outdoors and engaged the natural world as it blooms and grows around them. It is particularly timely as awareness about the importance of connecting children and youth with nature grows.
The purpose of observing June as Recreation & Parks Month is to draw public attention to the important and varied benefits of recreation and parks to individuals, families, neighborhoods, communities and the province as a whole!

Children & Youth Activity Passports
To help communities get children and youth active in nature, ARPA has created two activity passports with fun ideas for children and youth to get outside, engage with the natural environment, and be active. The activities may be completed with friends, at a day camp, or individually.
