Nature Passport
Nature Passport helps kids, families and classes play, explore, and learn outdoors. Research shows that time spent outdoors improves mental and physical health , learning and memory, and reduces stress. The app can be used by families and by teachers interested in taking classroom learning outdoors.
Designed by experts in outdoor play and experiential education, the app uses simple games and lessons to encourage kids to think, move, observe, collaborate and create in nature.
Nature Passport was designed for children ages 7 to 10, but can be enjoyed by adults and children of any age. It can be used in any environment, from backyards to city parks to beaches and woods.
Highlights include:
* Dozens of Outdoor Play, Exploration, and Learning Activities: The app contains 40 team-based activities with interactive widgets that allow users to record their experiences and observations. Activities can be filtered by type of environment, season, duration, and difficulty.
* Frequent Updates: New content will be released regularly
* Safari Function to Promote Discovery of Nearby Nature: This feature encourages users to look for nature around them, record observations, and contribute to citizen science through an integration with the iNaturalist app from the California Academy of Sciences.
* A Journal that Catalogs Memories: The Journal keeps a timeline of every completed activity and Safari. It automatically records participants, badges earned, and any photos, videos, notes, or audio captured.
Nature Passport was created by two nonprofits: IslandWood, from Washington State, and Nature Play WA, from Western Australia.

The app fails to load beyond the Welcome screen. Looking at reviews (last positive one in 2018), last updates (Apr 2018) and their website (expired) I would guess this app isn't going to work again. Shame as I would have liked to try it out!

A fantastic app for getting kids outside and exploring the world around them. Highly encourage this for parents and teachers!
I'm really loving this app! We do the activities with our boys, and they really enjoy it. I'm really impressed with the quantity and the variety of activities for any type of outdoor play we get. It's been a big help to encourage us to get outside more. I definitely recommend it! It is a bit frustrating that while completing an activity you and cannot turn the phone, close the app, or switch apps without having to restart the activity, and I'd love to see even more badges in the future.
