THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO GET OUTSIDE. ON ONE HAND, THE GREAT OUTDOORS
ARE A SALVE — TO OUR SCREEN ADDICTION, ANXIETY, (LACK OF) FITNESS, AND BOREDOM.
ON THE OTHER, NATURE REMINDS US THAT WE’RE ON THIS ROCK TOGETHER, A FRAGILE
SPACE THAT COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT POLEMICS. BUT MOST PRACTICALLY, GETTING
OUTSIDE TOGETHER BRINGS US ALL CLOSER. IT GIVES FAMILIES AND FRIENDS SHARED
EXPERIENCES, MEMORIES, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO BOND. IN A VERY COMPLICATED WORLD,
IT’S NICE TO HAVE ONE ANSWER TO ALL THAT AILS US: GO OUTSIDE.

TIPS AND TRICKS
TEACH YOUR KIDS TO “READ” THE OCEAN
FROM THE TIME HIS BOYS WERE VERY YOUNG, RENOWNED OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHER,
FILMMAKER, AND SURFER CHRIS BURKARD BEGAN TEACHING THEM TO “READ” THE OCEAN.
BEFORE ONE CAN SAFELY SWIM AND SURF, SAYS BURKARD, THEY MUST LEARN TO OBSERVE
THE OCEAN, PREFERABLY FROM AN ELEVATED PERSPECTIVE LIKE A PIER, CLIFF, OR THE
TOP OF A STAIRCASE. EVEN VERY SMALL CHILDREN CAN LEARN TO SPOT GROUPINGS OF
BIRDS AND SEALS ON THE WATER. FROM THERE, THE LESSON MOVES ON TO WATCHING HOW
OCEAN WATER MOVES. WAVES ARE THE MOST OBVIOUS, BUT THE WIND’S EFFECT ON WATER
CAN ALSO BE SEEN, AS CAN THE PRESENCE OF A RIP CURRENT — A STRONG, NARROW
CURRENT OF WATER THAT APPEARS LIKE A RIVER AND FLOWS STRONGLY AWAY FROM THE
SHORELINE. “THE WHOLE POINT IS, BEFORE YOU TOUCH AND FEEL THE WATER, YOU’RE
STUDYING IT WITH YOUR EYES,” SAYS BURKARD. “IT’S TEACHING THEM TO BE OBSERVANT
AND NOT JUST RUSH OUT INTO THE WATER.”
