LET'S GO TENT CAMPING!

Details

Let's Go Camping in tents! Games, S'mores and More with Black Everywhere Philadelphia! This will be a fun, newbie-friendly campout in the Poconos.

Event Detail
Yes, Black folks camp! We're going to unplug (slightly) and inject some nature into our lives. The Hickory Run State Park will afford us opportunities to check out Boulder Field, bike, hike to the waterfalls, swim in the lake, and/or fish. For the adventurous, there are indoor water parks, whitewater rafting, paintball, and horseback riding within 30 minutes drive. Perhaps you'd prefer to drive to Mountainview Winery or just sit at your campsite and whittle (do people still whittle?). The Poconos have everything and, the best part is, you're only 1.5 hours from home! This campout is perfect for singles, couples, friend groups, first-time campers or experts.

Remember that you don't have to sleep in a typical tent on the ground. You can camp in your SUV or truck (look up car camping), rent a trailer or a van, or sleep in a hammock tent. Bring an air mattress and a propane stove; make this as rough or as easy as you like! Our campsites are right next to the shower house/bathrooms. There is electricity on each campsite!
