Learning through experience within an outdoor community provides an opportunity for the next generation to figure out who they are, separate and apart from the noise. Within an intentional, safe environment, even the most alienated kids can develop social, emotional, and communication skills that will amplify their connectedness, and independence. When kids recognize that they can do hard things, provide value to the group, and rely on others, the course of their life can change. Written for educators, parents, and leaders, No Kid Left Inside - transforming the next generation through experiential learning will show you how to:

​

  • create experiences for kids so they can drill skills and safely explore personal strengths, as well as limitations

  • provide a space where kids can celebrate and transcend their differences, learn how to communicate honestly, and deeply connect with those around them

  • facilitate activities that prove to kids that they’re capable of great things and figuring out a challenge as a team

  • Foster empathy, commitment, and accountability within the community

  • Instill in kids greater confidence and agency

I've known Bryn for decades and to see her passion and expertise for guiding youth and young adults come to life in this book is exciting and frankly, LONG overdue.

How can a book be at once so personal, yet so driven by research? So scientific, yet soulful? How can a longtime outdoor educator find time to even write a book? Immersing yourself in Lottig's work is like jumping into a lake in winter - invigorating, intense, and unforgettably transformative.  

-Steve Smith, founder - Experiential Consulting LLC and author of Beneficial Risks

​

No Child Left Inside is an excellent resource for teachers and parents to help build social emotional skills in their kids (and themselves). Lottig builds on her professional training and experiences as an experiential educator and facilitator, as well as her personal experiences of growing up in a tough environment. She weaves together the most important principles of building resilience, problem-solving skills, and community. She digs deep into why community matters and how to foster it in the groups we lead. This is a must-read for parents and educators who care about guiding kids to be strong, adaptable adults.
