Hello readers!! This is a continuation from the post I wrote about National Camping Month. Hopefully some of you readers pitched a tent, roasted marshmallows and enjoyed sleeping under the stars and breathing fresh air. Since it’s National Camping Month I wanted to notify all of our readers about a great event coming up.
The Outdoor Foundation and other great contributors have worked hard at putting together the Outdoor Nation event. The event is located in NYC’s Central park and is meant to promote and inspire healthy living and stewardship. The event is this weekend (June 19th and 20th).
The first day of this great event will be an outdoor festival that is family friendly and FREE. Some of the activities include rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, bird watching, biking, crafts, concerts and more.
On the second day, 500 youth delegates from across the nation will gather in the park to develop a national agenda, set priorities and outline strategies to champion the outdoors as athletes, artists, advocates and ambassadors and deliver their message to the Obama Administration.
Below is a snapshot of the weekends events that were provided to us by the Outdoor Foundation.
• More than 1,000 potential youth “delegates” submitted applications for the summit; 500 of which were chosen to travel to NYC for the event from places as far as British Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Alaska
