Great American Backyard Campout

June 27, 2014

Dig out your tent, sleeping bags, and flashlights. Prep the fire pit and stock up on smores supplies. The Great American Backyard Campout is right around the corner on Saturday, June 28th and it’s time to get ready!

Now in it’s 10th year, the Great American Backyard Campout is a great way to celebrate National Outdoors Month.

The more time we spend in nature …
The more time we spend engaging with our natural surroundings …
The more time we spend observing the wildlife in our midst …
The more we are able to appreciate it, and the more likely we are to work to conserve and protect it.

So, get thee outdoors this weekend, and spend the night! Here are five great reasons to participate:

  1. Great way to test the waters if you’ve never camped before!
  2. You don’t have to travel far!
  3. It’s cheap!
  4. No screens (don’t be tempted)!
  5. It’s peak firefly season. Enjoy the show!

What are your favorite camping spots? Tell us about it in the comments.
