Event Details

Join Ranger Josh for a FREE hands-on knot tying program focused on practical outdoor skills. We will meet and the park visitor center and depending on weather will be outside at the pavilion or stay cool and dry inside.

During this interactive program, participants will learn several essential knots commonly used for camping, securing gear, setting up shelters, and outdoor safety. Each knot will be demonstrated step-by-step, followed by time to practice with guidance from the ranger. We’ll also discuss when and why each knot is used, and how these skills apply to real situations you may encounter while enjoying the park.

This program is beginner-friendly and designed for anyone. No prior experience is required. All materials will be provided. Whether you’re new to outdoor skills or just want to sharpen your knot knowledge, this program offers a fun and practical way to build confidence on the trail and in camp.

Registration is required, and space and supplies are limited. Participants must register in advance to attend.
