The event, titled "Rec 101: Intro to Fishing and Camping," will begin at 10 a.m. at Belle Isle State Park in Detroit with games relating to fishing and camping. There will be free time to enjoy the park from 1 to 5 p.m. and campsite setup will begin at the White House at 6 p.m. The program will challenge children to learn what is needed to build a successful campsite. Burgers and hot dogs will be provided free of charge for dinner.
"Camping and fishing are great ways for kids to get hooked on a healthy, active lifestyle," said Karis Floyd, Belle Isle Park supervisor. "We're pleased to offer that opportunity at Belle Isle."
Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to participate.
Registration is required by Thursday, July 23. Please contact Karis Floyd at 313-396-6873 to register.
