  This family-friendly weekend is designed to teach the fundamentals of camping in the great outdoors. Campers will spend Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning taking part in hands-on workshops on how to pitch a tent, build a campfire (weather permitting), use a camp stove, learn about wildlife safety, and much more! We will also gather around the campfire with a local Indigenous drummer to enjoy open dialogue and share in an authentic cultural experience.

  Tents, foam sleeping pads and food are provided.
