TEXAS OUTDOOR FAMILY: Whether you’re new to camping 
or just out of practice, the Texas Outdoor Family program 
can get you up to speed…ahead on Passport to Texas…

This is Passport to Texas

Have your kids been begging you to take them on an 
overnight camping trip at a Texas State Park? Have they 
talked excitedly about sleeping in a tent and making 
s’mores over a campfire, or maybe even catching a fish? If 
you’ve been putting them off because you’re out of 
practice, or never learned the skills in the first place—we 
can help.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department offers the Texas 
Outdoor Family program to help you to hone or to 
develop outdoor skills. During one or two-night 
workshops, state park staff lead families through the 
basics of setting up camp and getting the most out of 
their time in nature.

All camping gear and equipment required for an 
overnight stay at the park is included with each 
reservation! Just bring your family—that’s up to six 
people—sheets, blankets and food and you are ready for 
a camping adventure.

But you need to register in advance, and workshops fill 
fast. Workshops are scheduled in March at Lake Tawakoni 
SP, Galveston Island SP, Buescher SP, Lake Ray Roberts SP, 
and Huntsville SP. There are more workshops in April, 
May and June at other state parks.

Texas Outdoor Family Workshops are always fun; you’ll 
leave the park with new confidence in your ability to 
enjoy overnight camping with your family and friends.

Find details in the calendar section of the TPW website.
