Bass Pro Shops' National Go Outdoors Event is a way to give kids (and adults) the chance to learn about the outdoors and the reason why is simple. Kids need this chance to re-connect with the outdoors to learn valuable lessons --how to swim, how to camp, first aid, survival techniques, orienteering, conservation--but more importantly, to become good stewards of the land and its natural resources, to feel good about themselves and to improve their general health and well-being. If you're already looking ahead to summer and wondering what you are going to do with the kids, don't forget to investigate summer programs that your local Park Board, YMCA, or Boys Scouts and Girls Scouts offer that will help them benefit from being outside. In the meantime, begin with Bass Pro Shops' National Go Outdoors Event at your local Bass Pro Shops store location. While at Bass Pro Shops, register to win the "Ultimate Outdoor Package".
