Most of our kids (and adults) can use more time in the great outdoors.  Why not take advantage of summer’s great weather (and possible vacation time) to get away from your desk, unplug a bit, and get some time in the great outdoors? That’s what #ForestFriday is all about.  Go local, get out and visit a national park, or go big and hit up one you’ve been wanting to forever- the choice is yours and the options are limitless.

I’ve been trying to talk a friend of mine into camping- we are big campers here, but she’s a bit weary- so perhaps “glamping” is more your style- and hers.  We are thinking of taking our kids to a local kid-themed campground, complete with pool and bathrooms.  Not exactly roughing it, but spending time outdoors together will be fun for us all and it will be great to get away from our normal desk areas.

Check out to visit: www.DiscoverTheForest.org for some great ideas for ways to spend outdoor time with your kids and family .  DiscoverTheForest.org features an interactive map tool that enables users to search for nearby forests and parks, and filter by zip code and desired activities. Free outdoor activities are also available for download and printing, which you can take the next time you visit.

Join @Cheecker for a fun Twitter Party all about the great outdoors with the US Forest Service at 1 p.m on June 26th
