I've been blogging a lot about ideas for getting outside. In fact, as the National Wildlife Federation reports, today is National Get Outside Day, and this month is Great Outdoors Month.
Hopefully, you'll have an opportunity to celebrate with some outside time. If you do, please keep in mind one of the most important parts of being outdoors: minimizing your impact on nature.
The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics provides seven principles to help guide you to a fulfilling and environmentally friendly outdoor experience.

Kids Camp
As the summer weather starts to arrive, more opportunities for camping become available. The National Wildlife Federation will be celebrating these chances for experiencing the outdoors with the Great American Backyard Campout on June 23.
The campout is about getting kids outside, and it embraces the idea that camping can happen almost anywhere, including the backyard. NWF has provided tips for how to get ready for a camping adventure. These suggestions include packing, safety, assembly, recipes, and activities.
For more resources about camping with children, visit Go Explore Nature, which recently reviewed a helpful book about camping and shared information about what it called "glamping," an easier form of camping.
