Pitch a tent with us this weekend
Join the Great American Backyard Campout at Silver Lake. Experience the joys of family camping! Be part of the Everett’s second annual Silver Lake campout where you can learn everything you need to know for a safe camping experience and share campfire fun. Join us from 3 p.m. Saturday, June 23 through 10 a.m. Sunday, June 24 at Thornton A. Sullivan Park, 11405 W. Silver Lake Rd.
Whether you want to brush-up on camping skills or
introduce your kids to affordable outdoor fun, this is your chance. Enjoy the
beauty of Silver Lake, as we:
• pitch tents and build shelters for comfortable camping • try Dutch oven cooking • learn to build a campfire • take a ranger-led nature walk, and • enjoy a campfire program and s’mores
Relax as you fall asleep to the sound of wind in the
trees and water lapping on shore. Wake to a free Sunday breakfast before
packing up. Bring a cooler with something to grill for dinner and your own
camping gear (tent, ground cover, sleeping bags, flashlights, camp dishes, etc.).
Families that need to may borrow from a limited supply of tents and sleeping
bags.
Advance registration is required and costs $15 per
family (up to five people) or $5 per person. Register by calling the
Recreation Office at 425-257-8300 ext. 2. The Great American Backyard Campout
is presented by Everett Parks and Recreation in partnership with Alderwood
REI.
