On Saturday, June 8th, 2013, celebrate healthy, active, outdoor fun in your urban national park! Experience all kinds of outdoor activities at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site - your Gateway to the Great Outdoors. Partners from federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofit organizations and the recreation industry are again teaming up to host the fifth annual National Get Outdoors Day (GO Day) to encourage outdoor fun at sites across the nation.
GO Day at Fort Vancouver includes the annual free Brigade Encampment, where costumed interpreters re-enact the springtime return of Hudson's Bay Company fur brigades to Fort Vancouver.
Prime goals of GO Day are reaching currently underserved populations and first-time visitors to public lands, and reconnecting youth to the great outdoors.
