The campfire will be crackling, children laughing, and stars visible in the night sky at the Mercer County Park Commission’s Come Out and Play Camp Out scheduled for Saturday, June 1 to Sunday, June 2 (with rain date June 8-9) at Rosedale Park in Hopewell Township.
During this special annual event, families and individuals will be able to spend the night in Rosedale Park, with activities planned to provide a welcoming environment for first-time campers and seasoned outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Enjoy naturalist-led fishing, stargazing, and night hikes. There will also be camp songs, roasting hot dogs, and s’mores by the campfire. Participants will wrap up the event the next morning by enjoying a continental breakfast and an early bird walk or family craft before heading home. The Come Out and Play Camp Out is designed to provide a unique summer experience.
Cost for Mercer County residents is $15 per person. For out-of-county residents, it costs $25 per person.
