Outdoor Kansas Kids (O.K. Kids) is a statewide program coordinated by Kansas Wildscape, and we usually see several O.K. Kids Day events near Wichita each year. These are always so much fun – and FREE!
The mission of O.K. Kids is “To provide multiple outdoor recreation opportunities for Kansas youth with adult partnering and mentoring to encourage outdoor recreational opportunities, and promote and provide an active lifestyle as an alternative to sedentary activities.”
Kids – and probably a lot of us parents – will experience new things, gain some new skills, and enjoy nature.
