Why Camp?

The nature of childhood has changed. There's not much nature in it. The American childhood has moved indoors during the last two decades, taking a mental and physical toll on today’s kids. But you can help change this trend.

Think how good you'll feel giving your children the benefits of spending more time outdoors, providing them with memories to last a lifetime while supporting the National Wildlife Federation.

NWF uses 80 cents of every dollar you raise in the Great American Backyard Campout® to support programs that address the problems of America's indoor childhood and the health risks associated with them. Your funds are used to establish and maintain programs to make outdoor time a priority to protect children's health and ensure their readiness to learn.
