Make Learning an Adventure This Summer on the Born Learning Trails
Looking for a fun, free activity for your family this summer? Visit the United Way Born Learning Trails across Champaign County and turn a simple walk into an exciting learning adventure!
Did you know that 90% of a child’s brain develops by age 5? The early years are filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and explore—and the Born Learning Trail helps make the most of every moment.
This family-friendly outdoor trail features colorful, interactive signs in English and Spanish that encourage children and caregivers to learn through play. Along the way, families can enjoy simple activities that build language, literacy, and social-emotional skills while staying active outdoors.
Following the trail’s theme—Watch! Stop! Learn! Play!—parents and caregivers are encouraged to follow their child’s curiosity, ask questions, and make learning part of everyday fun.
Whether you’re counting, moving, talking, or imagining together, every stop on the trail helps support your child’s development and school readiness.
This summer, get outside, get moving, and discover how play can spark a lifetime of learning. Visit a Born Learning Trail near you and create memories while helping your child grow!
