The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is gearing up to reconnect families with nature through its Father-Child FUN Camp. Scheduled from April 4-6 at the Woodworth Outdoor Education facility, near Alexandria, this camp offers a resolute opportunity for parents and their kids, aged 10 to 13, to engage together in the great outdoors. According to their announcement on the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website, the weekend aims to foster family bonds and sharpen wilderness skills.
Pre-registration for the event is a must, and those interested should be quick to act—spaces to participate are limited indeed. A tag of $50 is attached to each family, defined as one parent and their child, wanting to share in this weekend's experiences. If families wish to bring an additional child, a further $25 fee, with a cap of two children per adult, will be required. The fee includes not just the cost of meals, but also covers lodging, and all the necessary supplies. Parents, remember, that's excluding bed linens and sleeping bags, so be sure to pack your own.
For those who might miss out on the Father-Child camp, or are looking for a mother-centric experience, the LDWF has also planned a Mother-Child camp for October 10-12. Both camps are part of the department's initiative to promote educational and recreational activities that aim to build and strengthen the family unit through the appreciation of nature.
