Oregon
Parks Let's Go Camping Program
This program is for novice campers and folks who have not been camping for a long time. Each weekend during the Summer, we take a group camping in one of our state parks. The cost is only $30 PER FAMILY for the weekend. We provide tents, sleeping bags, sleeping bag liners, mattress pads and camp stoves to campers who do not have their own. We camp in a group in a different state park each weekend. Every other weekend, we are camping in a park on the Oregon Coast. Staff and volunteers camp with these campers and are available to help them. Park rangers lead the group in educational and recreational activities at each park. Campers bring their own food but we provide dutch oven biscuits, fruit upside-down cakes, dutch oven cinnamon rolls and plenty of s’mores for everyone to enjoy around the campfire. We also do presentations to the campers on Camping Basics, Leave No Trace, 10 Essentials of Hiking, Dutch Oven cooking, as well as
Other
fun Let's Go
Programs include Hiking, Paddling, Disc Golf and Birding.
