Mercer County Camp Out Offers a Special Glimpse of Rosedale Park at Night

The campfire will be crackling, children laughing, and stars visible in the night sky during the Mercer County Park Commission’s Come Out and Play Camp Out scheduled for Saturday, June 1 to Sunday, June 2 (with rain date June 8-9).

During this special annual event, families and individuals will be able to spend the night in the park, with activities planned to provide a welcoming environment for first-time campers and seasoned outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Enjoy an evening of naturalist-led fishing, stargazing, and night hikes. There will also be camp songs, roasting hot dogs, and s’mores by the campfire. Participants will wrap up the event the next morning by enjoying a continental breakfast and an early bird-walk or family craft before heading home. The Come Out and Play Camp Out is designed to provide a unique summer experience. The cost for Mercer county residents is $15 per person; out-of-county residents, $25 per person.
