Our friends at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department have designated camping as the activity of the month for May! The weather should be perfect for taking advantage of facilities and programs available at State Parks in every corner of the state. Pictured above are two participants in a Texas Outdoor Family program at Franklin Mountains State Park. Texas Outdoor Family workshops are designed to provide an easy way to learn basic outdoor skills and give an introduction to activities like fishing, kayaking, and rock climbing, depending on the location and time of year. It’s a great opportunity to have help and advice from outdoor specialists, not to mention that all of the equipment is provided! Whether you’re an experienced camper or a novice, there are scenic campsites and engaging activities in a State Park close to home or miles away.
