I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST CAMPOREE

The leaves are changing, the air is cool and crisp, and you’ve got pumpkins and ghouls on your mind. This year, double up on the Halloween festivities with carving pumpkins, campsite decorating, outsmarting classic Halloween villains, followed by a night around a crackling campfire in the woods. These tricks and treats will give you a weekend of frights you don’t want to miss.
