Unplug for the night and settle in under the stars at Black Hoof Park. Lenexa’s Family Campout offers the perfect chance to share stories, play games, and soak up the outdoors — just a short walk from home.

Bring your own tent, sleeping bags, and favorite dinner fixings. We’ll set the scene with yard games, nature-inspired crafts, and classic campfire S’mores at Oak Shelter. Wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and donuts, with juice on hand to fuel the morning chatter.


Fees and registration

  • $32 for first four family members
  • $8 for each additional family member

We can only accommodate 20–25 tents.

Ages 3 and up.
