Summer Break is A Time to Return to Nature

Summer is always the most anticipated time of the year, especially for children. But for many parents, it can be a tricky equation: how to let kids rest, explore, and learn without being glued to phones, iPads, or a packed schedule of extra classes?

Among all the options like skill camps, hobby classes, or “check-in” trips, perhaps the simplest yet most meaningful choice is to bring your child closer to nature.

When Kids Need to Breathe

In modern life, children have fewer chances to interact with grass, rivers, or the fresh air outdoors. For many, their familiar environment is limited to classrooms and screens. This often leads to stress, poor concentration, or emotional fatigue.

Unplugging from technology and spending a few days in nature can make a world of difference.

What Does Science Say About Kids and Nature?

It’s not just a feeling, many scientific studies have shown the positive impact nature has on a child’s development.

• A 2019 study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that children who frequently spend time in nature show better attention, stronger working memory, and improved emotional regulation compared to those who rarely play outdoors.

• According to the University of Illinois (USA), kids who play in natural environments show a clear reduction in ADHD symptoms compared to those who play in artificial playgrounds.

• UNICEF’s 2021 report also emphasized: “Nature not only makes children physically healthier but also supports emotional growth, creativity, and social skills.”

Retreats Aren’t Just for Adults

Many think of “retreats” as something for grown-ups. But children, too, need their own kind of retreat — a peaceful place filled with greenery, free from technology and pressure, where they can just be themselves.

At Nomia Garden Retreats, children can:

• Water plants and pick vegetables in a small garden

• Go fishing with their parents by the lake

• Paddle gently across calm waters

• Read on a hammock under the trees

• Enjoy warm, homemade meals in the heart of nature

And most importantly: no grades, no rewards, no competition — just simple joy with loved ones.

Children Learn Best When They Play

Nature doesn’t ask children to learn anything. But when they play, climbing trees, splashing water, watching leaves fall, they naturally gain patience, observation skills, mindfulness, and gratitude.

For parents, it’s also a chance to connect, talk, and create memories that the whole family will cherish for years to come.

A Quiet Summer Is Still a Full One

This summer, if you’re looking for a calm, relaxing place: not too crowded but still full of meaningful experiences for the whole family, let Nomia Garden Retreats be your escape.

Here, your child won’t just be “on a trip,” but will live closer to nature, bond with you, and gently learn the most precious life lessons.
