Camp In Prospect Park On September 21

Ever wanted to go camping in Prospect Park? Your chance is coming up on Saturday, September 21 when the Urban Park Rangers run their annual family-friendly program where kids can learn about the basics of camping, and the Rangers provide dinner.

There are only 30 spots available, and selection is done by an online lottery — or if you can’t get to a computer, you can call 718-421-2021 between 10am-4pm to have your name entered. The lottery opens on Wednesday, September 11, and is open for 24 hours. A list of names is randomly computer generated, and if you’re picked, you will get a phone call to confirm.
