During the overnight Texas Outdoor Family workshops, families will spend much of the weekend learning not only how to pitch a tent, cook outdoors and about nature, but also how to use a global positioning system (GPS) to navigate trails and locate hidden caches. Some parks with water access also offer fishing and kayaking opportunities. The program also teaches participants about conservation ethics and introduces them to park rangers and what they do.
The workshop costs $65 per family (up to six people), and includes individual car camping sites for each family, restrooms with hot showers, professional park ranger-led programs and instruction, overnight State Park Police Officer security, state park Junior Ranger certification programs and all camping gear except for sleeping bags. The entire approach is ?Leave No Trace? Certified so it?s environmentally friendly. Families are expected to bring their own food for the two-day workshops, and a suggested shopping and packing lists for meals and personal items will be provided.
