As the leading authority on all things outdoors for kids, founding partner, and CEO, Sarah Laufer states, “We think this is a perfect way to share the realistic and often funny perspective of an outdoor family experience one family at a time.” 

Laufer states, “This partnership makes perfect sense. We are passionate about Global Green’s Green Schools Initiative.  Green Schools Initiative provides resources and ideas for parents, teachers and communities to create healthier school environments for students and our planet.  As a Corporate Sponsor we are sharing in the importance of this model. We are excited to take this opportunity to share a first look at our unique video in its entirety within a platform that challenges media and the entertainment industry to create community based solutions for the world we live in.  We are all about parents getting their kids outside; as a family, and as a community.”

The PLAY OUTDOORS brand is all about parents talking to other parents about what their kids need, fortunately these adults have not forgotten what it’s like to be a kid.  Nowhere is this more evident than the company’s tagline by which it stands: RUCKUS READY!  PLAY OUTDOORS invites all to explore their “outer” child by providing RUCKUS READY tested and approved gear for getting out; biking, building forts, hiking, snowboarding, skateboarding, camping, and more.  Laufer states, “Highlighting the mischief inherent in kids – of all ages – ‘ruckus’ carves a unique position for us in that we offer something that no one can come close to and we do it with conviction.”

While PLAY OUTDOORS encourages outdoor ruckus, the company also recognizes that we won’t have our outdoor playground for long if we don’t treat it nicely.  Laufer continues, “Through fostering a connection to the outdoors PLAY OUTDOORS is leading the way to creating the next generation of environmental stewards because it’s our connection to nature that inspires us all to protect it.”
