The live experience
What reaches the room
1000 Hours Outside is more than a performer—it's a movement led by Ginny Yurich, a Southeast Michigan mom of five who champions getting kids outside. The name represents a global goal: average 1,000 hours of outdoor time per year for children. Through a combination of an app, free trackers, a popular podcast, and accessible books, this initiative inspires families, schools, and communities to embrace outdoor time as a core part of daily life. As a performer, speaker, and advocate, 1000 Hours Outside brings practical, relatable storytelling to stages, classrooms, and conferences across the United States.
