Activekidsclub.com’s story: It all began with Kari handing out flyers in the Canadian winter of 2006. She wanted her daughter to have a childhood similar to her own in Norway with lots of friends to play outside with in all kinds of weather. Kari and her daughter spent some lonely days that first winter. Finding herself all alone in an empty frozen city park, Kari resorted to bribey; families passing by were encouraged to stop for hot chocolate, coffee and homemade Norwegian waffles. She was surprised over the lack of urgency about the need to get kids outside (especially in the winter) both from parents and educators in early childhood daycare programs. Being from Norway her viewpoint was immersed in a different culture where most educators and parents look at outdoor play as one of the most important gifts given to children. 
Kari’s Vision: Kari’s mantra is an old Norwegian saying: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”
