First Time Campers Wanted
The Bureau of Parks & Lands is looking to provide 40 Maine families who have never been camping the opportunity to reconnect with nature by spending a weekend camping at one of 11 participating Maine State Parks.
The winning families will receive a two-night reservation at a Maine State Park, a complete set of camping equipment to use for the weekend courtesy of L.L. Bean & Kittery Trading Post, a $50 Hannaford gift card, and Wicked Joe Maine State Parks blend coffee. This program is intended for first-time campers, and is offered to Maine Residents only.
