Jr. Naturalist Program
Join any Centred Outdoors outing and borrow one of our Jr. Naturalist toolkits to take on your adventure! Inside you’ll find all the tools and guides you need to be a real Naturalist.
Discover plants, animals, insects, or anything else you find on the trail. Record your observations, take pictures, and share what you find! Our event leaders will show you how to use everything contained in the backpacks, and you’ll learn so much more about the natural world at every Centred Outdoors destination!
COBOR
With so much time spent indoors and on screens, many kids miss opportunities to build a meaningful relationship with nature. Inspiring outdoor exploration helps foster lifelong appreciation, stewardship, and environmental responsibility – benefiting generations to come.
In a landmark step for youth health and environmental equity, the Pennsylvania Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights (COBOR) was officially endorsed on October 9, 2025, in observance of Children’s Environmental Health Day. Developed through a collaboration led by Prescribe Outside and the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics Climate & Environmental Health Committee, the COBOR sets shared expectations that every child in Pennsylvania should have safe, regular, and meaningful access to outdoor and nature-based experiences.
Prescribe Outside and the PA Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics invite organizations across the state to join this growing movement. By adding your logo to the COBOR webpage, you stand alongside partners committed to advancing equity, removing barriers, and supporting community efforts that help children explore, play, and grow in nature.
We’re proud to have added our logo in support and will continue offering free outdoor programming that gets kids outside and connected to the natural world.
