Sports & Recreational Activities

The purpose of this section is to provide information about six sport and recreation topics that parents have told us are important areas they would like to learn about. These topics include outdoor play, camping/hiking, snow sports, team sports, cycling and swimming.
Each section includes information about the benefits of the activity, safety risks that can associated with activity, and strategies that can support safe and inclusive participation for children. Information has been gathered from peer-reviewed published articles. At the bottom of each page, there are suggestions for local resources and community organizations to help support families for each activity.
