Family & Friends Overnight Youth Campout
A joyful community campout with s’mores, stargazing, firelight, and rest under the trees for National Sleep Under the Stars Night.
Join us for National Sleep Under the Stars Night as we gather for a family-and-friends overnight campout. We’ve reserved a private group campground so our community can spread out, set up in pods, and enjoy a relaxed night outdoors together.
Expect campfires, s’mores, stargazing, and a simple, joyful evening where kids can explore, adults can unwind, and everyone gets to enjoy the magic of being outside under an open sky.
