Prescription for Health

 Dr. Outdoor is worried that children are not getting enough time outdoors! Did you know that 21% of today’s kids regularly play outside compared with 71% of their parents? Also, one in three children are overweight and one in six are considered obese. Research has shown that getting outdoors for just 30 minutes or more will help lower your blood pressure, help fight ADHD symptoms, and reduce anxiety and depression. The Delaware Children in Nature Coalition has FREE programs for you listed on our Prescription for Health cards to not only get outdoors but to connect with family and friends through nature! Once you have attended the program, leave your prescription card with the program provider for a chance to win a prize! A raffle will be done at the end of each month!

The more programs you attend each month, the more chances you will have to win!

 
 
You can print the prescription cards on your own or pick them up at the following locations:
