Minnesota State Parks - I Can Camp Program

Do you want to take your family camping, but aren't sure that you have the knowledge or equipment you need? Check out the I Can Camp program offered by Minnesota State Parks! These overnight workshops will give you the skills and confidence to enjoy camping as a family. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/can_camp.html


Experienced instructors are onsite the entire time to give hands-on instruction and lead fun activities. Your family will also enjoy plenty of free time for hiking, swimming, fishing, geocaching, biking, or just relaxing in the great outdoors.

Each two-night workshop is only $55 per family and most of the camping gear is provided, including tents, air mattresses, and cooking equipment. There is also a one-night option at $35.

I loved taking my nanny charges camping over the years. This kind of experience is a wonderful skill builder! Their love of outdoors was enhanced by these kinds of experiences.
