Best-selling child psychologist Dr. Becky emphasizes that kids need boundaries to feel secure and grow, even if they protest. Outdoor time is a non-negotiable boundary in our house, and despite challenges, it teaches perseverance.

You might think I’m a bit of a softie if I tell you that an annual report brought tears to my eyes. Well, maybe I am! But sometimes certain things just really touch your heart, especially when you’re passionate about the cause.

I’m so proud that the outdoor industry isn't like any other. When times get tough, we don't bail for an easier path. We're a unique bunch of tough cookies, passionate about what we do. 

Sustainability is important to us.  Read more on what Hootie Hoo is doing to help protect our children's playground.
