Lincoln College Hosting Creekside Summer Camp Out
Campbell Creekside Center offering overnight fun for the family

 

[September 05, 2019] 

LINCOLN – As the school year begins, Lincoln College’s Dr. G. Dennis Campbell Creekside Outdoor Center for Environmental Education will be hosting a summer camp out for all local families.

The camp out will take place Saturday, September 7- Sunday, September 8, 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Creekside location, weather permitting.

Located just north of Lincoln, families will enjoy nature crafts, outdoor activities, daylight tours of the forests and restored prairies, an evening camp meal, and star gazing (telescopes provided).

Lincoln College faculty, staff, and Conservation Biology students, as well as volunteers from the community, will be present to assist with scheduled activities.

A free afternoon snack, evening meal, and small breakfast will be provided to guests, along with s’mores around the counsel ring/fire pit. Campers are permitted to supplement their meals with personal food and drinks. A single fire pit and a charcoal grill are also available for families to share (wood and charcoal are provided by Creekside).

Families are required to bring their own tents and camping gear. All children must be accompanied throughout the camp out by at least one parent or guardian. The event has a maximum capacity of 25 tents, so all interested persons are encouraged to call Creekside in advance to reserve a tent place. No trailers will be permitted on the grounds.

Creekside is approximately 4 miles due north of Lincoln, off of County Rd 2000N halfway between County Road 1100E and 1215th Ave (Google map address is 1234 2000th St., Lincoln, 62656); from Co Rd 2000N take the gravel road (at the large Creekside sign) north to the Center.
