National Get Outdoors Day!

Saturday we celebrate the 8^th year of National Get (your butt!) Outdoors Day. The idea is to encourage healthy active outdoor fun at different sites across the nation. On June 13^th business participants will offer opportunities for American families to experience traditional and non-traditional types of outdoor activities. Ultimately they want to be reconnecting youth with the great outdoors.

Each GO Day offers activities areas where guests and children can learn to use a fishing pole, go geocaching, or help pitch tents. Smokey the Bear and Woodsy Owl (to name a few) also wander around to provide opportunities for pictures with the children. Many sites promote healthy eating by offering nutritious lunches as well.

Take a look at the locations here to see if you’re able to attend! http://www.nationalgetoutdoorsday.org/locations/

If you’re living in other parts of the world, go out and enjoy what your country has to offer! You can go on hikes, have a lake day, or explore the forest. Teach your children what you used to do when you were younger! 🙂
