How much does the subscription service cost?
We offer several different pricing plans. Please visit our Pricing details for more details on each of our plans
When will I be billed?
Your credit card will be charged immediately based on your selected pricing plan. Our processing renewal date is the 25th of each month. Please note that we bill in advance of packages being shipped in order to process the shipments. Your initiation box will ship either by the 5th or 15th of the month, depending on when you signed up. All subsequent boxes ship out by the 5th of each month.
How do subscriptions work for siblings?
Families can order individual subscriptions for each sibling, or they can share one subscription amongst multiple siblings. If purchasing multiple subscriptions for your family, we automatically apply a sibling discount on renewals when boxes are shipped to the same address. To take advantage of the sibling discount ($2 off per box), simply add each subscription to your cart and check out in one order.
You can also purchase one box for your children to share. Please note that sharing one subscription only provides one set of outdoor gear. However, you can purchase an additional backpack with your first order by clicking here.
How do you develop the content and materials for THiNK OUTSiDE?
We have partnered with several companies to carefully source outdoor products suitable for young adventurers. Our content is curated from credible online and print sources, and activities are tested with children of various age ranges.
If I am a homeschool parent, how can I use this service?
Our boxes include a 20+ page educational and hands-on activity booklet that can serve as a parent’s curriculum and a supplement to a teacher’s manual or lesson plan. Each month’s booklet includes activities to teach outdoor sciences and STEM-focused topics, such as water filtration, pulley systems, astronomy, and more. Along with the gear and resource cards, our year-long curriculum helps to foster creativity, encourage strategic thinking, and promote empathy.
Do you work with any charter schools?
Think Outside works with charter schools to allow parents the opportunity to add our program to their home curriculum. If you would like for Think Outside to be included within your charter school’s vendor list, please reach out to support@thinkoutsideboxes.
