Announcement: Citywide Camp-Out

Inspired by National Get Outdoors Day, the SSP Jaycees and the SSP Parks and Rec Department have teamed up again to provide the 2nd Annual Citywide Camp-Out at Lorraine Park.

This family friendly event will take place on Sat., June 9, (registration open between 3:30 – 5:30 PM) until Sun., June 10, (tents down by 10 AM) and provides a rare opportunity to legally camp overnight in an urban city park.

All proceeds raised from this community event will be donated to Parks and Recreation, Youth Program Fee Assistance, which aids children coming from low-income households. Last year we were able to donate $300!

Scheduled events include: dinner on the grill, free popcorn, face-painting & board games in the pavilion, Sportsman's Guide Relay Race, Community Bonfire with s'mores, Flashlight Scavenger Hunt, and a 'campsite' raffle.

Register at Central Square Community Center for an early bird pricing of $5.00 per tent or register the day of the event at the park for $10.00 per tent.
