RISING
Community for both parent and child.
Ocean State Kids is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving all young, developing children—regardless of ability through outdoor experiences. We create space not only for children to grow naturally, but for mothers to rise, connect, and feel supported in their own journey. Deep in our core, we are a community for both parent and child — empowering parents to become their child’s strongest advocate and most influential teacher, while fostering a profound sense of belonging for the whole family.
When she comes alive in motherhood, her child comes alive in the world.
WINTER ACTIVITIES FOR HIGHLY-ACTIVE KIDS
This collection of activities honor winter exactly as it is: cold, wild, messy, unpredictable—and incredibly regulating for all children.
Winter is a powerful season for growth, and each activity is designed to support the way young children naturally move, play, explore and feel connected in their whole body. By leaning into snow, ice, and cold (instead of fighting them), we create meaningful opportunities for children to release energy, feel seen, and truly understood.
