Outdoor fun

Great American Backyard Campout Inactive

On June 28, 2014, thousands of people across the nation will gather in their backyards, neighborhoods, communities and parks to take part in an annual event that provides a fun-filled evening for all generations to get outside and connect with nature.
The 10th annual Great American Backyard Campout® is a part of National Wildlife Federation’s efforts to help inspire Americans to protect wildlife, including a three-year campaign to get 10 million kids to spend regular outdoor time in nature.

If you pledge to camp, National Wildlife Federation’s Board of Directors and other friends have offered to donate $2 in support of NWF’s wildlife conservation work for every person that participates, in this year’s Campout—for up to $400,000! So this year, you can enjoy a fun-filled evening under the stars AND help make a difference for wildlife.

Here are some helpful tips from the National Wildlife Federation:
