Willamette Mission State Park welcomes beginning campers to join in an overnight guided camping excursion July 15-18, as part of the statewide “Let’s Go Camping” program hosted by Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). For $30 per family, OPRD provides tents, sleeping bags and other gear. On site experts will help campers set up tents, build campfires, prepare meals in the campsite and more. Activities will include a canoe float, programs led by park rangers, and plenty of s’mores. Let’s Go Camping programs will be held at 12 campgrounds throughout the state through Labor Day weekend. Participating campgrounds are listed at oregonstateparks.org (Click on “Things to Do”). Register online or by calling 888-953-7677.
