Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights

The Mission
To encourage California's children to participate in outdoor activities and discover their heritage. 

The Reason
Numerous studies have shown that children who participate in outdoor activities are healthier, do better in school, have better social skills and self-image, and lead more fulfilled lives.  

The Objective
That every child in California should, by the end of their 14th year, have the opportunity to experience each of the activities listed with the California Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights.  

The California Roundtable on Recreation, Parks and Tourism is a consortium of State, Federal, local, academic institutions, private and non-profit organizations founded in 1998 to encourage cooperation between public and private entities involved in outdoor recreation, public lands and tourism in California.
