About the Party:
With kids finishing up the last few days of school, the vacation celebration includes bouncing off the walls and fighting over the TV and computer screen. Since telling them about the summer days we spent outside hunting for salamanders, playing kickball with neighborhood friends, and swimming until our fingers shriveled may not encourage them to get outside, we need to do something bigger.

July is National Park and Recreation month and your local parks are gearing up to “Get Wild!” Nationwide, recreation departments have organized events and activities to help families spend quality time together, enjoy nature and get active. This provides a great opportunity to not only to make the most of the beautiful weather, but also to take a stand against the obesity epidemic and technology trends that consistently keep more kids indoors and living less active lifestyles.

Through fun initiatives and games, the National Recreation and Park Association continues to find creative, exciting ways to encourage families to play outside. The “Get Wild” Geocaching contest takes families on an outdoor treasure hunt while the social media poster allows them to upload photos of their adventures at their local parks and recreation. The NRPA website includes information on all of the above initiatives as well as a calendar of events scheduled nationwide.

@RedRobin75
I will be there, we just went camping at Doran Beach Regional Park and Loved IT. Could have been better weather, so we are planning another before summer ends, which is pretty fast here since our schools only give the kids 8 weeks of summer break.
