We are devoted to making a diference in the lives of our generations children through our designs and attractions. More and more we are seeing a drastic decrease in the time kids are spending outdoors and in nature, leading to an issue known as “Nature Deficit Disorder”. Studies have shown that this shift has a negative efect on physical and mental health, functionality, and the ability to learn. Nature play allows kids to explore their limits and aids in their development. It helps nurture independence, self confidence, creativity, coordination, resilience, improved cognitive function, and physical health. At Tree-Mendous we strive to give people, children especially, the opportunity to disconnect with technology and take back what is inherently theirs by providing them with opportunities to get back into nature and interact with others.
