Description
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department brings you Let's Go Camping! It is a fun-filled weekend camping adventure for families NEW to camping. For families without their own equipment, we provide tent, sleeping bags, sleeping bag liners, mattress pads and use of a camp stove for the weekend at no extra cost. There will be lots of fun activities for parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren and all camping novices. There are 12 weekend events scheduled at various state parks. Campers can choose to arrive on Friday afternoon after 4 p.m. or by 9 a.m. on Saturday morning when activities begin. Events end by noon on Sunday. One vehicle allowed per family. Very secure event with ranger-led activities, staff member and trained volunteers on hand to assist you around the clock. These events have been very popular with single parents, families on a budget and seniors. Cost for the ENTIRE FAMILY IS ONLY $30 for the weekend. Registration opens on March 4 and is available during business hours. Pre-registration and payment are required. Call 1-888-953-7677 to register and/or for more information. Families bring their own food (we send a list of suggested food, equipment, etc.) but we typically provide Dutch oven biscuits on Saturday morning. We also provide all the s'mores makings for everyone to enjoy around the campfire Saturday night and typically make Dutch oven cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning. Register early before the spots are gone. Only one registration allowed. Please, no pets, alcohol or electronic games. Come have fun, make some great memories with your family outdoors, and LET?S GO CAMPING!
