Is your family a First-Timer?

We have a limited amount of camping gear available to lend, and this year we're prioritizing our Happy Camper First-Timers—families who are new to camping! If you’ve camped with us before, we’ll do our best to assist if extra gear is available.

Don’t worry— our volunteers will be on hand to help all newbies get campsites set up and answer any questions along the way!

When: May 31 - June 1, Noon-noon!
(Raindate: June 7 - 8)

Where: Summit Field, South Mountain Reservation

Description: The event features field games, guided hikes, nature exploration and fairy house crafts, music, a campfire with s'mores, morning meditation & yoga and a Sunday bagel breakfast. Activities are designed for children ages 4 through 11.

First timers welcome!

Join us!
