Always wanted to camp but not sure where to start?

Burnaby Public Library is hosting a Learn to Camp session with Parks Canada on Thursday, July 26 at the Tommy Douglas branch.

The workshop, which runs from 2 to 4 p.m., is an interactive event for the whole family that includes instruction on campsite planning, how to set up a tent and how to safely view wild animals. A write-up about the event notes that children will also learn how to safely explore the outdoors and what they can do to remain calm and safe if they become lost.

Adults must accompany children under 10. It’s a drop-in program, and it’s free, but space is limited, so arrive ahead. For more information, call 604-522-3971, see www.bpl.bc.ca/events or check out www.parkscanada.gc.ca/vancouver.

The Tommy Douglas branch is at 7311 Kingsway.
