Parking Tents in the Park

The township's annual camp out is one of Hillsborough's summer traditions.

 

The first week in August marks another of Hillsborough's summer traditions, one meant to get kids and parents enjoying the great outdoors.

The Township's Annual Campout takes place in Ann Van Park from 6 p.m. tonight until 7 a.m. Saturday. It's a night of games, community, and tents out in the park, with kickball, a fishing derby and a campfire.

No word on whether you need to bring your own graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate bars for s'mores though.

Here's what you need to know today:

You Need to Know if Something’s Still Bugging You: head over the Environmental Education Center at Lord Stirling Park, where a 10:30 a.m. program for children ages four to six will cover bugs' and insects' habitats and lives. Crafts, stories and games will be included in the $15 workshop. Advance registration is required, so call 908-766-2489 if you’re interested.

You Need to Know We’ve Gone Fishin’: or some members of the town have. The David L. Thomas Memorial Fishing Derby, which is part of the Township’s Annual Campout, takes place at 5 p.m. at Ann Van Middlesworth Park today, for children ages 14 and under. Prizes will be awarded, but you need to register for the derby, which costs $4, at www.hillsborough-nj.org.
