First Time Campers
Every half year, a group of local 5th and 6th graders gets to spend a weekend in an improvised camp in the park meadow and experience first hand the magic and tranquility of nature.
The event is organized by local scout organizations and co-sponsored by the Wolf Trap NP and FOWT. This Fall’s natural extravaganza was held on Oct 13-14.

Only the wind did not show up to float the kites.
