Looking to get outside this summer? Who doesn’t love camping, hiking, beaching and water sports?!

Outdoor Discovery Day is tomorrow,  Saturday, July 13 from 11 AM – 3 PM at Pleasant Hill Park. Plus, they have a ginormous “bootmobile” in tow, which is instagram-worthy alone. LL Bean is hosting the Outdoor Discovery Day as part of a summer-long effort to inspire families to spend more time outdoors and try a new outdoor activity.

What does this day to L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Day include? Activities like:

• Try a New Outdoor Activity: Experts from the L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery Schools® & Philadelphia Parks & Recreation will teach fundamentals of fly casting, fishing, geocaching, lawn games, camping basics, and lots more.
• Local Outdoor Resources to use your new skills: Outdoor activity books for kids will be on-hand for kids, as well as guides to local outdoor resources and activities in the Philadelphia area.  Share your outdoor tips & suggestions by posting to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram using #OutdoorDiscovery.
• Win Great Gear –Giveaways including a hiking, camping or beach gear prize package.
• Try out the App – L.L.Bean’s ParkFinder app, helps you find thousands of national, state and local parks and public lands for everything from picnicking to hanging out with nature.

Readers,

If you go: Saturday, July 13, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at Pleasant Hill Park (Corner of Linden Avenue and Delaware Avenue, PA 19136)

Full Disclosure: LL Bean did also invite me to a paddleboarding & kayak lesson on Sunday. I’m excited to share that on the blog soon!
