Join us at Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted for this fun troop or family overnight where you will have an opportunity to go on a hike, learn how to set up a campsite, explore the nature center, learn about the history of the area, meet Smokey Bear, and so much more. $25 per person for overnight, this is a unique opportunity to camp right in the park rather than in the campgrounds, close to flush toilets! Breakfast will be provided, you are on your own for dinner, we will have a cooking area set up for everyone's use.
