Great American Backyard Campout!

This is such a cool idea! I haven't thought of doing anything like this since I was a little kid!!!

Dear zedkitty, As the father of two beautiful young girls, I'm constantly thinking back to my childhood, when life was just a little bit simpler. My generation wasn't tied to TV or video games for entertainment. We spent our days outdoors--catching fireflies, riding our bikes and camping in our backyards. Last year my kids, wife and I were able to rediscover the wonders of nature, by participating in National Wildlife Federation's Great American Backyard Campout™. Together we pitched our tent and took a hike, where we spotted ducks, bugs and spiders (my youngest is not so keen on spiders!). My kids played with some of our fellow campers, and at night we gathered around our campfire. We roasted marshmallows to a golden brown, indulged ourselves in gooey s'mores and gazed at the stars above us. As soon as we packed up the next day, my kids were clamoring for more! That's why I encourage you to register today for NWF's fourth annual Great American Backyard Campout. You too can enjoy a night of s'more-making, stargazing, and nature-watching right in your own backyard or favorite camping spot. What a great way to connect with nature! Register your campsite, your backyard or favorite campground . Whether you're an old pro, new to the outdoors or camping with kids for the very first time, I assure you you'll be making some very happy memories with your loved ones that you won't soon forget. Sincerely, David Strauss, Vice President, Membership Programs and father of two happy campers Thanks to Our Proud Sponsor...
