“How to” Camping Program Coming to North Texas State Parks this Spring

In an effort to help eliminate barriers to families wishing to share the outdoor experience, five Texas State Parks are hosting a Texas Outdoor Family workshops this spring designed to familiarize families with the outdoors and teach them how to tent camp, cook outdoors and get the most out of their outdoor experience.

As we know there are many families that don't send their children to camp for several reasons, this workshop may help lower those barriers. In addition,this is also a great way to help kids continue the camping and outdoor experience with their families after that great week of camp.

Rose Banzhaf, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department outdoor education specialist states, " By Sunday afternoon, adults and children alike will have experienced some of those things that many people only know about from watching television or going to the cinema," Banzhaf said. "The opportunity to catch a fish, cook a meal over a campfire, paddle a kayak or watch a deer nibble leaves on a tree limb can open up a new world full of wonder, excitement and learning. The best part is that it’s so much fun that kids of all ages will be begging for more."
