Raising Outside Kids | Camille Kent | Episode 363


Listen Later


Owner of Bow and Arrow Outdoors Camille Kent joins Blake to reflect on their 90s childhoods and explore what it looks like to raise kids in today’s tech-heavy world while preserving imagination, outdoor play, and confidence. Camille shares how she and her husband created a children’s outdoor apparel brand designed to encourage kids to embrace nature, regardless of the weather or terrain. The conversation dives into realistic strategies for managing extreme weather, including bringing the outdoors inside with imaginative play, shifting screen time boundaries, and making evening walks a family routine. They also open up about overcoming parental fears in the digital age, the value of letting kids take risks, and how outdoor play helps build resilience and emotional strength. At its core, this episode is a hopeful and practical reminder that even in 2025, a childhood filled with dirt, scraped knees, and fort-building is still within reach.

In this episode, you’ll be able to…

  • Explore creative ideas for bringing the “outside in” when going outdoors isn’t possible.

  • Learn how small mindset shifts—like repurposing device time for conversation—can strengthen family connection.

  • Understand how unstructured play and nature-based routines can help build your child’s confidence, imagination, and emotional resilience.
