The Great American Backyard Campout® is officially on Saturday, June 27, 2009. Basil Brook Organic Pharm is now a wildlife sancturary, has a lovely camping area near the hiking trail and brook and will be participating again this year. This year will will include workshop on alternative energy with information on photovoltaics, solar hot water, passive solar heat. An all electric car and solar oven will also be on display.

Mark your calendar for June 27, 2009!

Come join the fun!

The Great American Backyard Campout provides an opportunity for everyone to relive -- or to experience for the first time -- how much fun it is to spend a night sleeping under the stars and enjoying the sounds of nature.

Held each June, the Great American Backyard Campout is a national event that encourages individuals, youth, friends and families to camp out together for one night.

Each year the number of campers has steadily grown. The locations and types of campsites vary from family campouts in the backyard to public campsites with 30 or more community members. In previous years, campers have ranged in age from 3 months to 99 years old and have come from all areas of the United States.
