Spring Break Day Camp


Thanks to a generous donation from the City of Bastrop and support from the City of Bastrop Parks Board, we are holding a spring break day camp at Bastrop State Park this March. The idea behind the camp is to get kids from the city who would not normally have the opportunity to come out to the park. With the City paying the camp admission charges for these kids, they are able to come free of charge and explore the park!

We are looking to enroll no more than 40 kids, ages 6-10, for the three days of camp, March 17^th, 18^th and 19^th. Each camp day will be filled with fun and exciting activities! Weather permitting, on Wednesday we will have a mini fishing clinic in the morning after a whole host of getting-to-know-you activities. Thursday morning, the campers will get a chance to try kayaking or canoeing and bug picking! Finally, on Friday morning, we’ll be geocaching throughout the park. Each afternoon of the camp will be filled with games, crafts, hikes and much more! Bill Brooks will be giving a snake talk to the campers.

If you’d like to volunteer, the Park is signing folks up for 3 hour or 6.5 hour shifts on all of the three days, but we especially need help on Friday, March 19. Feel free to email Katie, if you’d like to help out: katie.raney@tpwd.state.tx.us. We have several other programs going on this spring as well, so be sure to check back for more updates.
