Children have better physical, mental, and emotional health, and improved learning, when they play and learn outdoors.</p><p>When given the opportunity, both parents and kids recognize another key benefit: it&#039;s fun.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/35c905c7-2f59-4c35-9b9a-f98afe46e200/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-35c905c7-2f59-4c35-9b9a-f98afe46e200\"\n                data-id=\"35c905c7-2f59-4c35-9b9a-f98afe46e200\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/35c905c7-2f59-4c35-9b9a-f98afe46e200/-/inline/no/SpringStream-Print.jpg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/35c905c7-2f59-4c35-9b9a-f98afe46e200/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p>Youth education is at the heart of Hildene&#039;s mission; our nonprofit&rsquo;s school programs and summer camps are designed to get kids outdoors to enjoy and explore the Lincoln family&#039;s former estate. New this year, Hildene is offering a Spring Vacation Camp from April 20&ndash;24. Campers will investigate the signs of spring with all their senses, help prepare the farm&#039;s gardens, and care for the animals, including this season&#039;s adorable &quot;farm babies.&quot;</p><p>Lisa Maggio, Hildene&rsquo;s Youth Education Director, has witnessed firsthand how outdoor time &mdash; where play becomes learning &mdash; leads to better educational outcomes and a more joyful childhood. &quot;Hildene day camps offer campers the freedom to explore, play, and get a little dirty &mdash; maybe even very dirty,&quot; she says.</p><p>Visit our Camps page to register and join us April 20 - 24th for outdoor adventure, discovery, and muddy-boot fun! (Hildene provides boots to borrow!) </p><p>Full descriptions for Hildene&#039;s Spring and Summer camps, schedules, fees, and registration are available at hildene.org/camps.
