Great Aussie Camp Out – kids need more time outside and in nature

In the last 25 years we have cushioned ourselves away from the natural environment, especially our children. Spending time indoors in front of screens, we are forgetting how important time outside in nature is for the development of our children.

July 31, 2014 - PRLog -- There is so much going on in our lives these days, that occasionally, we need to take a step back and connect with the simple things in life and what better way for us all to do that than spend a night out camping.

The Great Aussie Camp Out (GACO), visit http://www.greataussiecampout.org.au, brings together thousands of Australians for one big night where they share the experience of camping out under the stars!  Register for free for your chance to win some great prizes.

This year’s event is being held on Saturday 11th October 2014.

With the long term goal of promoting healthy active lifestyles by encouraging individuals, families, friends and clubs to enjoy the great outdoors, GACO will coordinate a 'camp-out' across the country to reintroduce Australians to the fun and adventure of camping out.

So, camp in your backyard, your neighbours backyard (preferably with their permission!), on a river bank, on a farm, in one of the hundreds of National Parks, at a residential camp or caravan park, sleep under the stars, grab a Barbie, organise some games and get outside.

No camp site is too big or small to spend the night camping out and just having fun with family and friends.

Register for free at http://www.greataussiecampout.org.au.

We can also help you to plan your camp with great tips, resources and ideas to keep you busy all night long available on the GACO website.

And this year there will be more public events so if you want to camp out with others and make some new friends then one of these events might be just right for you and your family. Keep an eye on the GACO website for details of these GACO events all around the country.
