About This Activity
Hidden in Plain Sight is a skill-focused program centered on developing environmental awareness, controlled movement, and sensory observation in outdoor settings. Through structured activities and guided practice, children learn how to move through natural environments quietly, attentively, and with intention. Participants will practice skills such as slowing movement, minimizing sound, using visual camouflage, and observing surroundings through all five senses. Instruction emphasizes awareness of body position, pace, and attention, helping children understand how movement impacts both their environment and their ability to notice details. Skill development is supported through supervised games and exercises designed to teach stealth, observation, and spatial awareness. Children will explore how different landscapes—such as wooded areas, open spaces, or creek beds—require different movement strategies and awareness techniques. Animal movement and behavior may be used as instructional models to help children understand how animals remain aware of their surroundings and adapt to their environments. These activities support focus, impulse control, and sustained attention while reinforcing respect for shared outdoor spaces. This program prioritizes calm, attentive learning and provides children with tools to increase focus, situational awareness, and respectful engagement with the natural world.
