Child Outdoors Adventures By Age (Chart)

What’s age-appropriate when you take your children outdoors? Can you take a toddler camping in the woods and can a 6-year old ford a stream? Based on our own family adventures and Frog Mom archives, I’ve drawn up a chart of Kid Outdoors Adventures By Age. All the activities in the chart, my two girls did in the age range listed and hopefully that’ll provide some guidance as to what kids can do. Obviously our activities made the best of the natural environments around us – the coast, mountains, lakes, bay – and yours might be different because of where you live. However most of these activities you can adapt to your area’s specific landscapes and natural resources – or help you plan a trip where you can make your outdoors dreams come true. Have fun!
