EARTH DAY ADVENTURES FOR FAMILIES
Earth Day is a perfect opportunity for families to take part in activities that promote environmental awareness while also fostering healthy habits for children. At CPCMG, we believe that celebrating Earth Day not only helps teach kids the importance of sustainability, but it also encourages them to stay active and connected to the outdoors. Whether it’s planting a tree, participating in a community clean-up, or enjoying nature on a hike, these activities provide meaningful ways to make a positive impact on the planet and promote overall well-being.
Although Earth Day is officially Tuesday, April 22, you can find a family-friendly, free event in your area during April, which is now known as Earth Month:
