My job recently got a campaign with the US Ad Council(We're a marketing company). The Ad council recently did a study which stated that kids spend about 50% less time outdoors these days than they did 20 years ago.

Myself, I try to keep my kids active, be it cycling, running, exploring nature trails, or just looking for animal tracks. I found several potential activities at the Forest Service's "Where the Other You Lives" website, which i use to keep my kids from the video games so much. Their campaign is a pretty good one as it is designed to get parents and kids outdoors experiencing what nature has to offer.

What are you guys doing to keep your kids interested in outdoor activity, especially now that the summer is winding down.

To me it was all about where I lived. Neighborhoods are crammed now with tiny yards. My brother got a home with an acre and it changed his kids lives...
