About this Event
Community Campout @ Cherry Creek State Park
Join our first ever Community Campout at Cherry Creek State Park with Latino Outdoors and Outdoor Asian on October 11-13! Bring the whole family and learn how to pack for a camping trip, set up a tent, manage your camp kitchen, plan camping meals and more! Plus, every participant will walk away with a free tent and sleeping bag from The North Face, and will get to enjoy free freeze-dried backpacking meals from Mountain House during the campout. Colorado Parks and Wildlife will offer a live raptor program (with live birds!), archery, and you can explore Cherry Creek on a guided hike.
