 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.
