A sunny and calm weekend made for an awesome camping trip for the Holloway family, Steinkamp family and Matt, park rangers, and our NTKO volunteers! We were able to go rock climbing, geocaching, fishing, star gazing, and even got to enjoy some s'mores around the campfire as one big family. Words can't describe how much fun this trip was and how beautiful the scenery was.
Our youngest camper was under age 2 and he had a blast getting to experience the bugs, rocks, leaves, and sunlight. His Mom said that he also enjoyed a night of deep, peaceful sleep. If you are interested in getting outside for the day, one night, a weekend, or even a week long adventure, there's a state park near you!

Here are some snapshots from our last camping trip for Fall 2012 at Lake Mineral Wells State Park:

We believe that families provide the strong foundation a child needs to explore and champion the outdoors. At North Texas Kids Outside we're all about bringing people together from different backgrounds to experience different things.
