Join the Noblesville Parks Dept. and families all across the country for the National Wildlife Federation’s Great American Backyard Campout on June 22. Families are invited to camp overnight in Forest Park beginning at 4 p.m. Families will need to bring a tent, sleeping bags, camping gear and food and the parks department will provide the activities. Those who do not own camping gear may rent it from REI in Castleton by calling 585-1938 or visiting www.rei.com/stores/146.
Parks department staff will be onsite the entire time and will be available to advise on tent set up and grilling out as well as to help lead outdoor experiences for children and families such as hikes and singing around the campfire. Pre-registration is required and the cost is $20 per family. This event sold out last year, so registration will close once all the available spots are filled.
For more information or to register, contact the parks department’s recreation office at 770-5750.
