Each year for National Parks and Recreation Month this is one of the premier events with the annual Outdoor Adventure Camp, July 13th – 14that Memorial Park, (Reserve Area), 1701 N. Copia St.

The Camp is one of the premiere events of National Parks and Recreation Month in July, beginning at 5:00 p.m. on July 13th with the participants staying overnight in the park leaving on July 14th by 10:00 a.m.
The Family Camp Out will have games, swimming, (next door at Memorial Aquatic Center) and much more.

Register now for a fee of $5 per child (17 years of age and younger) and $10 per adult (18 years of age and older). Registration will remain open until all spots are filled. All families must provide their own tents, food, drinks, (no alcohol) and supplies. Camp spaces in the park will be on a first come – first served basis starting at 5:00 p.m. on July 13th at Memorial Park. The camp has sold-out every year.

Brenda Romero, Coordinator of the event says, “We will have a second outdoor camp for the first time on August 10th and 11th at Hawkins Park, 1500 Hawkins St. (next to Hawkins Pool). The format will be exactly the same as the July camp with swimming at Hawkins Pool.”

Registration is available online at www.elpasotexas.gov/parks or at any Recreation Center for either camp. There is no minimum age, however all children must be supervised by an adult at all times. “There will be no registration on the day of the camps,” added Romero.
