National Get Outdoors Day is a new annual event to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun.

Participating partners will offer opportunities for American families to experience traditional and non-traditional types of outdoor activities.

Prime goals of the day are reaching first-time visitors to public lands and reconnecting our youth to the great outdoors.

Joe Reilly is the official Troubadour for Get Outdoors Day. His song "Let's Go Outside" is played at GO Day sites across the country.

Joe has been making folk music to introduce children to the great outdoors for over a decade, and he has been featured on National Public Radio's environmental program Living on Earth. His albums for children include "Children of the Earth" and "Let's Go Outside."
