PROGRAM GUIDE
HOW TO REGISTER
As we transition out of summer into our amazing fall season, I encourage you to enjoy the outdoors. There is significant scientific research on the benefits of being outdoors. According to a 2016 Business Insider article, being outdoors improves short-term memory, restores mental energy and reduces stress. It is also a great way to build physical strength and endurance.
