Benton, IL – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake will be hosting a backyard campout program at the Rend Lake Project Office/Visitor Center on June 1, 2013. Join us as we have our very own backyard campout – well sort of. This program is a part of the on-going Environmental Science Series programs.
The Backyard Campout program will begin at 8:00 p.m. and end at 10:00 p.m. The fun begins at 8:00 p.m. when Rend Lake Park Rangers will show the correct way to build a campfire. Once the fire is built we will enjoy some friendly competition to see who can set their tent up the quickest and then try your hand at glow in the dark bowling.
Wrap up the evening with some traditional campfire favorites – eat some s’mores, tell us your favorite ghost story, or bring your musical instrument and we’ll sing some songs. Gather your friends and family and join us around the fire at the Rend Lake Project Office/Visitor Center on Saturday, June 1st. Remember this one is a night program that begins at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, June 8 the Environmental Science Series continues as we move the action to the South Sandusky Beach. The Rend Lake Beach Blast will be held from noon till 4:00 p.m. Back by popular demand is Fast Eddie the DJ and he will once again be playing some of your favorite beach songs. Throughout the day Park Rangers will be playing games and handing out giveaways. For more information feel free to call the Rend Lake Project Office at 618-724-2493 or like us on Facebook at the Rend Lake Project Office and Visitor Center.
