Join the Noblesville Parks Department for a fun way to end the summer with a campout on Saturday, Aug. 26. Families are invited to camp overnight in Forest Park beginning at 3 p.m.
For this unique event, families will need to bring a tent, sleeping bags, camping gear and food while the parks department will provide the activities. Campers are also welcome to enjoy The LEGO Batman Movie, which will be playing at dusk near Shelter No. 1 as part of the 2017 Movies in the Park series.
Parks department staff will be onsite the entire time and will be available to assist with tent setup and answer camping questions, as well as to help lead outdoor experiences for children and families like hiking, exploring, camping education, scavenger hunts and other adventures. Fire pits and grills are also available for campers to use to cook meals.
“We are excited for families to join us for a good old fashioned campout at Forest Park,” said event coordinator Alex Wirth. “We will be providing activities that will get them in touch with nature with our nature and photo safaris, leave no trace camping and campfire cooking. The activities aren’t required but will be provided throughout the night so people can come and go as they please.”
Help provide your children with fun summer memories of playing outside after dark and gazing at the stars. Pre-registration is required for this event and the cost is $20 per tent for Noblesville residents and $23 for nonresidents. Deadline to register is Wednesday, Aug. 23.
