National Get Outdoors Day

Held the second Saturday in June, National Get Outdoors Day is an annual event designed to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun and help fight the trends that keep too many people indoors and sedentary. Partnering sites will offer opportunities for families to experience traditional and nontraditional types of outdoor activities. The primary goals of the day are reaching first-time visitors to public lands; reconnecting young people to the great outdoors; raising awareness of the benefits of active time outdoors, including the resulting benefits to the human body and its functions; and cultivating an appreciation for natural wildlife, conservation and preservation.
