About the Great American Backyard Campout

On June 23 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 open the door and sleep out under the stars.

• No prior camping experience necessary!
• June 23 isn't convenient for you? Register your campout anyway and you’ll have access to creative ideas, simple recipes, fun activities and more.
• Support the mission of National Wildlife Federation and make a difference in the health of our nation’s children.

National Wildlife Federation and Be Out There Campaign

The Great American Backyard Campout is part of the special event series from National Wildlife Federation’s Be Out There™ movement. The National Wildlife Federation is celebrating its 75th anniversary as America's largest conservation organization. We work with more than 4 million members, partners and supporters in communities across the country to protect wildlife and reconnect people with nature. Today, 75 years and many successes later, NWF continues to be the nation’s leading advocate for wildlife and wild places.
