It’s finally summer!  The weather is fantastic, kids are out of school, and it’s the perfect time to get the family outdoors! From our parks to snaking rivers, lakes, trails, coastlines, to our mountains and forests, there are many wonderful opportunities for affordable adventures for the whole family.

Here are a couple of ideas to get you started on your very own celebration of Great Outdoors Month:

• On Saturday, June 28, join hundreds of thousands of people across the country for a night in the Great Outdoors for the The Great American Backyard Campout
• Take a hike on one of the newly designated National Recreation Trails around the country
• Check out Recreation.gov and Let's Move Outside for more ideas all summer long!
