Beginner Family Camp Out at White Memorial

Saturday, October 17, 2026 New to the world of camping? Don’t let the “gear-fear” or tent poles keep you at home! Join us for a stress-free, guided overnight experience designed specifically for families who are ready to learn how to camp with kids! Whether you’ve never pitched a tent or just need a refresher on outdoor basics, our experienced leaders will be with you every step of the way. From setting up your “home away from home” to mastering the art of the perfect marshmallow, we provide the expertise so you can focus on making memories. Families will be provided with a place to camp, hot dogs, smores, breakfast and activities, including nature walks and star gazing. Please bring dinner for your family, above and beyond hot dogs that we will provide. Camping gear is not provided. We have access to a very limited number of tents that could be loaned, please inquire about availability. You will need a tent, bedding, chairs, flashlights, and any other comforts for your family. A generic packing list will be provided after registration. There are no electrical hookups. Pit toilets and drinking water are available. Alcohol is not allowed at this event. This experience is limited to 10 families. $30 per family for members, $60 per family for non members.

This event was created to make your family comfortable camping, but we understand if it just isn’t working. Camping with kids must be flexible and expectations realistic. We hope you stay the night, but it is okay to know when your family is not having fun anymore. While we understand this, and you are welcome to leave at anytime if needed, we cannot offer a refund if this happens.
