Join White Memorial's Kelly Orr and avid camper and outdoorsman John Markelon for an immersive fireside chat all about how to camp with kids! Kelly and John will go over the basics of camping gear, packing, entertainment, eating, and camp safety for you and your family. We will talk about fire, set up a tent, and give the kids a chance to get to know what camp can look like. This is a great program for anyone looking to get into camping or someone wants help rethinking it when adding kids to the fun! You will have a chance to roast a hot dog over the fire and make smores. Meet in the Horse Trailer Parking beyond the Museum at 2pm. From there we will take a short walk to camp! Dress for the weather. Members: $5 per family, non Members: $10 per family. Please pre-register: https://pci.jotform.com/242345712748157/prefill/699dd7673436362f3d88cd187edb
