First time tent campers are invited to join us for a guided overnight campout at Hitchcock Nature Center in our picturesque group tent campsite.

We provide expert guidance along with tents & food. All you need is a sleeping bag & a sense of adventure!

Our Naturalists will be on hand to guide you to our special group campsite & help you set up your camp as they help you discover the world of camping. After a peaceful night in the park we will be up early for some breakfast and will break camp by 10:00 a.m. on September 8th.
