Children dehydrate faster than adults, sweat less, and therefore lose less heat. Additionally, their bodies generate more metabolic heat during exercise than adults. Children can cool off and play in the forest playground. There, you can experience firsthand how beneficial the coolness of the forest is and how important it is in combating the climate crisis. Children can enjoy the water and play in the water playground. Climate Campus link to address.
