Never gone camping in a state park before? Or, has it been awhile since your last camping trip? This is your opportunity to go camping at High Falls State Park for a night and see what it is all about. Leave your worries and stress behind; an AmeriCorps Ranger will be there for you during your entire stay to make sure you have an amazing time.

Brush up on your camping skills as we guide you through campsite and tent set-up. Then, participate in activities such as wilderness survival, stargazing, and hiking. Of course, no camping experience is complete without a campfire with s\’mores! A schedule of fun activities Saturday & Sunday, use of camping equipment, 1-night camping accommodation, and ranger guidance is provided.
