Family Camping
Jamboree includes Professional Guide, Campsite, Interpretive Programs and
all Meals/Snacks for a bargain price!!
Camping has long
been established as the #1 most popular family summer vacation activity. This
August, the not-for-profit Yosemite Association invites families to join knowledgeable
guides and other families for a camping outing in Yosemite National Park's
famed Tuolumne Meadows - without having to cook!
August 12-15, instructors Dave Wyman, a professional nature and travel photographer, and his assistant, Kathy Burke, will lead the Yosemite Association's Outdoor Adventure program designed especially for families, with Tuolumne Meadows campground as home base.
Family Camping Jamboree participants will identify wildflowers, learn about the night sky, examine the park's geology or take optional guided day hikes including meadow walks and hikes to Lembert Dome or Elizabeth Lake to witness wildlife and the wilderness. Additional activities include campfire interpretive programs replete with s'mores, storytelling and crafts for the kids.
"This is a great weekend to spend time with family, network with other parents and let the adults relax while the kids make new friends," said Dave Wyman. "Leave your cooking gear at home! This is the kind of trip families will remember for a lifetime."
