June 23 is the Great American Backyard Campout

Camping is a great way to teach your children the wonders of nature.
The annual Great American Backyard Campout, sponsored by
National Wildlife Federation, is coming up June 23, and you can either camp in your own yard or join us in a state park campground.
No tent?
No problem.
Through our
First-Time Camper program, you can get borrowed equipment plus a helping hand at seven participating state parks.
When you wake up to the sounds of songbirds, you’ll be ready to tackle even the toughest hiking trails.
