Have you ever wanted to get your family out camping under the stars but are not sure how? The Texas State Parks system has the answer for you...become a Texas Outdoor Family! Over the next couple of months, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, TPWD, will be hosting family campouts across the state. This is a wonderful opportunity to get your family outdoors and learn how to camp, kayak, geocash, and much more. The best part is there is no experience necessary. To find out more information about the locations, visit Texas Outdoor Family
Over this past weekend we were a part of the pilot program for Texas Outdoor Family. There were over 50 participants with varied previous camping experience. The park provided all the necessary gear, which was all Coleman Outdoor products, for every family. They also led demonstrations on minimal impact set up and break down of camp, disposal of grey water and trash, and safe campfire techniques. Participants were eager to ask us questions about ways they can leave no trace and enjoy the outdoors responsibly. Happy camping to all the families that will take part in this fabulous event!
Safe travels...
Tracy and Kate, e-tour 2008
