This year’s theme is ‘Play Across the Ages – Nature’s Call to All’. Across practice, policy, and research, this year’s Summit aims to explore how the landscape of outdoor play across generations has changed due to screen time, concerns over safety, and climate change, to name a few. Looking to the past, present, and future of outdoor play, the 2025 summit aims to inspire conversation and action on the value of play in fostering community, inclusive play environments, environmental stewardship, and overall health and well-being, informed and celebrated by the launch of the 10-year update to the Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play!
