Roger Heaney — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:47:00 GMT

The City of Round Rock's Parks and Recreation Department presents the Outdoor Family Campout on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 21 and 22, 2012 at Old Settlers Park.

Come Camp with us in Old Settlers Park!
It is said that a family that plays together stays together. Is there a better way to create lasting memories than through camping, fishing or other similar activities? We don’t think so; however, fewer families are enjoying these activities, the outdoors, and each other.

The Outdoor Family Campout can help provide basic outdoor skills necessary for an enjoyable and successful outdoor experience. More importantly, it shows families how fun the outdoors can be. The campout will lead into National Hunting and Fishing Day.

Activities include rock climbing, lawn games, a reptile and wildlife demonstration, tent decorating contest and more! The campout will lead into National Hunting and Fishing Day.

Registration for the campout is required and each person attending must be registered. Children ages 2 and under are free and do not need to register. Registration fee includes two meals (hamburger/hot dog dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday), instructional how-to sessions, use of demonstration equipment and a t-shirt for each paid participant. Register now at www.roundrockrecreation.com.

The Family Campout is sponsored by REI, Wag A Bag and Nextcare.
