The Great American Backyard Campout
June is Great Outdoors Month. You can celebrate with the Great American Backyard Campout on June 27, 2009. If you can’t camp out that day, you can always camp out a different day.
The Great American Backyard Campout provides an opportunity for everyone to relive — or to experience for the first time — how much fun it is to spend a night sleeping under the stars and enjoying the sounds of nature.
It is hosted by the National Wildlife Federation. You can register on the website, choose your own name for your campsite, your own motto and a place on the map. You can also keep all that information private. It doesn’t cost any money. You also don’t have to register to camp, but it is fun to see how many people are participating and to see your own camp.
If you would like, you may send me pictures of your camp out to post in my Reader Gallery.
