Feeling Isolated? Digitally Overloaded? Get Outside!
Studies show a correlation between time spent outdoors and increased physical fitness, stress reduction and overall happiness. Spending time outdoors is also linked to improved work productivity and increased self-esteem. So don’t let Covid-19 get you stuck indoors, feeling isolated and digitally fatigued. Life was not meant to be lived in isolation, staring at a screen. Break up your days by checking out your options for getting outdoors!
It doesn’t matter if you are a single Marine, a Marine with a family, or a family member—we encourage you to spend time enjoying our skate parks, fishing areas, pavilion areas, nature parks, and hiking trails. The Marine Corps also operates recreation equipment checkout/rent centers for a variety of equipment (such as kayaks and camping equipment).
Visit the Marine Corps Community Services webpage (https://usmc-mccs.org/services/) and explore the many options for outdoor recreation in your immediate area. The website uses convenient geolocation technology to pull up nearby outdoor options for you to explore. Activities like hiking, boating, fishing, camping, golfing, and horseback riding are available for you to enjoy.
