Break out your gear and join Temple University Ambler for the Great American Campout, the National Wildlife Federation’s celebration of camping as a way to connect with nature and wildlife. Spend an evening under the stars on campus and reconnect with the world around you! 

The National Wildlife Federation’s Great American Campout is a celebration of camping as a way to connect with nature and wildlife. The benefits from outdoor play for mind, body and spirit are well-documented and help to create a lasting connection to nature and wildlife that help promote happiness and good health.

Temple University Ambler is excited to host a campout for new and experienced campers. Spend the night tent camping, go on nature walks, and enjoy stargazing. We look forward to helping people connect with nature and exposing them to the wonder of Temple University Ambler and The Ambler Arboretum.

The Great American Campout will include: a Tent site, 15’ x 15’ (bring your own tent); outdoor Pool swimming; a variety of guided walks and activities, stargazing and more! Guests are invited to bring their own food to the Great American Campout. It's the perfect evening for a picnic dinner! Please Note: Cooking at the event is prohibited. Refrigeration is also unavailable. A light breakfast of fruit, granola bars and coffee will be provided the morning of July 14.
