The goal of this nationwide camping event is to encourage people of all ages to put down their cellphones for a moment and open their eyes to the comforts of nature. Too often are we consumed by email, computers, and video games, when there is a wealth of enjoyment right outside our back door. Relax under trees, enjoy cool breezes, lightning bugs, a campfire, and grass beneath your feet, while you bond with your family under the stars.
