Codorniz Family Campout: February 16–19 (Optional Stay Through the 20th!)
Settle in along the shores of Eastman Lake at Codorniz Recreation Area, a relaxed lakeside campground known for its wide open skies, calm water, and easy access to nature. Perfect for families, this spot offers space to spread out, explore, and enjoy the slower rhythm that makes HSC campouts so memorable.
What’s included:
HSC provides firewood for cozy evenings around the campfire, a morning coffee bar to kickstart your day, and pancakes for breakfast Friday through Sunday. Don’t forget to bring your favorite crafts, a nature journal, and anything that sparks creativity.
Activities & Nature Fun:
Fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding on the lake
Bird watching and wildlife spotting
Nighttime stargazing under dark skies
Hiking trails nearby for easy family adventures
Meals & Community:
Enjoy nightly potluck dinners where families come together to share food, stories, and laughter. Bring a dish to share and a sense of adventure—our campouts are about connection, not perfection.
Optional Stay Extension: With prior notice, families may extend their stay through the 20th for extra days of relaxation and exploration.
