July 2025

Our July issue is all about play! In our feature this month, we look at the impacts cultural experiences can have on kids, which go beyond education and include improved mental health, confidence and feelings of belonging. 

We’ve got the inside scoop on local teaching gardens where kids are encouraged to get their hands dirty and experience the joy of helping things grow. We’re also taking a deeper look at the idea of hands-on learning and its vital role in education. 

Looking for your next family adventure? Don’t forget to check out our July Playlist, packed with tons of ideas for summer play. And after a long day of playing outside, encourage your kids to keep up on their summer reading with one of these excellent books that will inspire their next adventure. 

Need more inspiration? Our annual Insiders Guide is packed with ideas for family adventures all year long. 

Now get out there and play!
