How You Can Become a Friend of Dino Diane's Adventure Club
Let’s all work together to help our young people grow in confidence, self-reliance, and well-being by spending more time in nature. We invite your service organization to cross promote with us.
We'll post your organization on our website along with your activities & events so that our members can learn more about your cause!
Our Young People's Mental Health Crisis is Real and It's Growing!
nature provides a cure...
We need your help to inspire our kids to disconnect from their screens and to connect with nature!
Please support
our
Cause.
Did you know ... globally, 20% of our kids struggle with anxiety while 25% suffer from depression. Some emergency rooms have seen a 50% increase in suicidal adolescents, especially, among girls 12 – 17 years old.
The fact is, our young people are facing a mental health crisis, and yet ...
A recent survey found that half of all kids spend less than an hour a day outdoors, while 75% of parents report that their children spend 4-8 hrs. a day on their screens. Some experts are now calling it a "Nature-deficit Disorder" that may lead to all kinds of physical & emotional illnesses.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that our young people could improve their mental health by spending time outdoors. Just five hours a week in nature offers immeasurable healing powers!
The Dino Diane's Adventure Club is a 501(c)3 with a mission to inspire our young people to strap on their hiking boots, flip-flops, or sneakers, and discover a natural world much bigger than their screens, becoming courageous adventurers, growing in confidence, self-reliance, and instill a love for learning through adventure in nature.
Let's teach our kids how to use screens responsibly and create a healthy balance between screen time, family time, and time in nature.
We're about environmental education, living a healthy lifestyle and fun!
Join Dino Diane and her clan of adventurers as they seek the ancient secrets of the Aszanii—more valuable than gold—and add more fun, friends, and excitement into your life.
