Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights (COBOR)

Picture
​The Pennsylvania Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights (COBOR), created by the PA AAP's Climate and Environmental Health Committee with support from Prescribe Outside, is intended to serve as a guide to ensure that Pennsylvania chidlren enjoy healthy, active lifestyles by spending time outdoors. We encourage all pediatricians, families, and community partners to embrace this document and incorporate its principles into their policies. 

​View our Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights here.

The PA AAP thanks Representative Kyle Mullins, Senator Judy Ward, Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, and Governor Josh Shapiro for their support for Children's Environmental Health Day and the Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights.
