“It’s Great Out There,” a Belgian not-for-profit that operates on a European level, aims to increase public awareness about the advantages and positive impact of outdoor experiences, not only for individuals but for society as a whole. They provide inclusive outdoor activities that highlight the benefits of being outdoors, including improved mental and physical health, reduced crime rates, and enhanced education.

To celebrate Finnish Nature Day, this camping weekend offers groups such as refugee and immigrant families, who may not be familiar with outdoor activities in Finland, easy access to experience events like this. The goal is to remove the current barriers they may have around camping and demonstrate the positive impact of being out in nature.
