Have you heard about this weekend’s greatest camping spot on the planet? Well, it just so happens that you won’t need to go far… it’s your own backyard!
This Saturday, June 26, is the Great American Backyard Campout!
The National Wildlife Federation created this day to encourage families to reconnect with nature and the outdoors, and remind us that we can manage life “with a little less”. You can set up tents, cookout over a fire pit, explore your surroundings, play flashlight tag, star gaze and our kids’ ever-favorite… gorge on S’mores! Shut down all the lights, computers and TVs in your house and even save a little electricity while you’re at it. (Indoor latrine, via flashlight, permitt
ed of course!)
If you want to find out who’s camping nearby, or register your own outing, check out NWFs site for more information.
I think this is a great opportunity to join families all over the country in embracing everything the great outdoors has to offer… it’s free, it’s fun… it’s the perfect way to reconnect with our families and nature. Now grab your sleeping bag and let’s go!…
