Rhode Island Families in Nature was created by and for families who want to spend more time outdoors, explore Rhode Island’s natural places, and reconnect with nature.

Why? Research shows that people who regularly spend time outside are happier, healthier, and even smarter than those who do not. In addition, research supports the notion that contact with nature is important for normal child development.

And hey, let’s face it, it’s just plain fun to get outside and play with your kids!

We are a free group, open to every type of family - traditional, non-traditional, young, not so young, extended - everyone is welcome. You simply need the desire to get outside with your family and we’ll help you do just that.
