National Wildlife Federation’s Great American Backyard Campout, slated this year for June 25. Email the neighbors and get some families to do this together. What a fun annual celebration this would be, especially for the kids to play and be surrounded by family.
Camping, even for just a night in a backyard, is a way to put children in touch with nature. A study in the 1990s found that people who grew up to be conservationists almost invariably had someone in their lives who introduced them to nature as a child.
Former president Jimmy Carter put it more eloquently: “It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature’s gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.” Introducing a child to the outdoors can create a commitment to nature that lasts a lifetime.
Some of you participating in this camping event may wonder what to do after nightfall. Here are seven activities that may keep you and the kids amused.
