Outdoors Rx®, an initiative of the Appalachian Mountain Club, is a program for families which aims to improve the mental and physical well-being of children ages 13 and younger by helping them get outdoors. We achieve our mission through partnerships with trusted health professionals who write prescriptions to the outdoors, and by filling those prescriptions through free outdoor programs and resources. Outdoors Rx® is the first-known program to "fill" outdoor play prescriptions by developing local maps; offering free, close-to-home activities for families; and providing an online resource. The program gives healthcare professionals free, dedicated resources for prescribing regular outdoor physical activity to children. Outdoors Rx® is growing rapidly and already serves over 1,500 youth and families per year within our three regions: MetroWest, Chelsea/Revere and Boston.
