Saturday, June 26th, is the Great American Campout!
Celebrate with your tots and get outdoors this weekend.
Get out a tent and flashlights & let your creative and imaginative side be your guide.
Let’s celebrate nature together…
” thousands of people across the nation will gather in their backyards, neighborhoods, communities and parks to take part in a one-night event that will provide an experience for all generations to connect with nature. You can join the Great American Backyard Campout whether you are an experienced camper or first-time campers. We have all you will need to get you ready to camp at your fingertips…”
Here are a few ideas:
- Go on a scavenger hunt for natures finest items: rocks, leaves, twigs etc.
- Don’t have a tent… create one using just a few fallen/cut branches.
- Roast marshmallows over the BBQ or if you have a fire pit… use it! Gotta have S’mores.
and the way we’ve always done it…
graham cracker + nutella + marshmallow creme.= SINFUL YUM!I
If you have time make homemade grahamn crackers & nutella…
do so!
& for the really ambitious you could do it all from scratch and make the marsh-y’s too!
(I know, I know! It’s a crazy thought to some… 
Whatever the case may be either homemade or store bought; it will surely put a smile to everyone’s face.
graham crackers + nutella + marshy’s = CAMPOUT, BLISS!!!! ;P
- Create a homemade sun jar.
- Play outdoor nostalgic games like Simon Says, Red, Light Green Light, Red Rover, Kick the Can, Steal the Bacon, Hopscotch, Freeze Tag
