 3 Things you'll walk away knowing...

REAL PLAY IS COMING BACK

The research is catching up, the old rules are loosening, and parents are asking for more free play — not less. This isn't wishful thinking. It's already moving, and you get to be part of it.

THE WAY TO DO IT

Give kids a yard with room to roam, stuff that isn't finished yet, and your yes instead of your no. Nature play design, loose parts, and risky play — that's the whole framework. We'll cover it all together here. 

YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS ALONE

Across the country, educators and parents are working together — sharing spaces, swapping stories, showing up for each other. This is a movement, not a solo project.  

Hey there! 

I'm Rusty...

I am a natural playscape designer and author who has spent the last 30 years travelling the world designing and advocating for children's outdoor play. I love it! I believe that all children have the right to play—and we adults can help make it happen in beautiful, engaging, natural environments.

 

We know it’s a high-tech world out there—but I’m preaching for the opposite: I want to connect children to nature through play in spaces filled with all the good stuff in the real world: Nature. Plants. Water. Mud. Fire. Sunflowers and endless possibilities!

And I know you want to do that too. So, welcome to my site. I’d love to help you with your outdoor play dreams and visions!

"Rusty doesn't just teach — he shifts how I think!" 

Janet - Director, Parks and Recreation

"I love Rusty Keeler! He leads the best professional development trainings I've ever taken, and I've been in the early childhood field for 40 years!!"

 Debra M. - Lead Teacher

"Rusty is a great group leader! I love how comfy and safe Rusty makes it, and how easily the group conversations flow."
