It’s time for the Summer Bear Essentials Camp! The fun happens this time around in Moose Lake State Park for a fun weekend outside camping!
At Bear Essentials, you are required to be self sufficient. This means bringing your own tent, chairs, sleeping bag, and food! Don’t have a tent? See if you can borrow one, or share with someone else! This is an 18+ event. NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED AT THIS EVENT.
Within the park there is access to a lake with great fishing, canoeing and swimming opportunities. The park also offers nice hiking trails including those around Wildlife Pond and Lake Echo.
On Saturday there will be a group outing to the Agate Museum in the park to learn about the local geology and the agate (No fursuiting allowed in the museum/center).
