As the cool and calm months are upon us, we welcome adventure into the outdoors. At EtonHouse we celebrate childhood every single day. We encourage our families to join in our celebration of childhood by thinking about the challenges on this list and creating opportunities for their children to complete them.
Have fun and remember … not child’s best day ever was watching TV or sitting in front of a device. Let’s enjoy the great weather and nurturing outdoors!
