Camping for New Campers

Have you always wanted to go camping but feel nervous or intimidated about planning a trip? This program will provide a wealth of knowledge for new campers or those planning and leading group trips. We will walk you through the basics of camping in four instruction sessions that qualify you to register your family for a campout at Durant Nature Park June 3-4, 2023. You will need to attend 3 of the 4 instruction sessions to participate in the campout.

The sessions will cover finding a place to camp, navigating online reservation systems, campsite rules, and what to do when you get there. We will talk about gearing up for a campout: What do you need? Where do you get it? How do you use it? We will also talk about camp cooking, outdoor ethics, first aid, camp safety and what to do in an emergency.
