Who, What, Where & how Around the Parks

National Get Outdoors Day at the Four-Year Mark

P

articipants from federal
agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the recreation
industry are again teaming
up to host the fourth annual
National Get Outdoors Day (GO Day) to
encourage healthy, active outdoor fun at
sites across the nation. On Saturday, June
11, these diverse partners will offer opportunities for American families to experience traditional and non-traditional
types of outdoor activities. Prime goals
of the day are reaching currently underserved populations and first-time visitors
to public lands, and reconnecting our
youth to the great outdoors. NRPA is an
original founding participant in National
Get Outdoors Day.

Each GO Day event will offer a mix
of information centers and " active fun "
areas-places where guests, and especially kids, can use a fishing pole, go
geocaching, help pitch a tent, and more.
The sites will provide photo opportunities with characters like Smokey Bear,
Woodsy Owl, and other interesting creatures. Many sites also feature areas that
focus on other aspects of healthy living,
including sustainability and good nutrition. In addition to the GO Day events,
participants will be invited to nearby
follow-up activities called EchO events

occurring throughout the summer,
which include introductions to mountain
biking and fly-fishing, hikes with rangers to see wildlife, kayaking, rafting, and
much more.
GO Day is an outgrowth of the Get
Outdoors USA! campaign, which encourages Americans, especially young people, to seek out healthy, active outdoor
lives and embrace our parks, forests, refuges, and other public lands and waters.
Working with the FS, Get Outdoors USA!
hosted six recreation forums in early
2007 and learned that public lands were
missing the right triggers to capture the
attention of today's youth. For more information on National Get Outdoors Day,
