QUANAH, TX. – Your child in the wild is the focus of a new Campsite Program premiering Saturday, April 5, at Copper Breaks State Park.   The family-oriented presentation will begin at 3 p.m. and is part of the statewide Great Texas Trash Off events being observed there that day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Park Ranger Carl Hopper will offer practical, easy-to-understand and remember tips that can make a real difference when a youngster becomes lost in the wild. 

With an emphasis on preparation and prevention, the program will utilize the rugged terrain around Copper Breaks and feature a brief hike, so program participants are advised to dress appropriately.

The program is ideal for church youth groups, scouting organizations as well as families, notes Hopper.  Volunteers for the Trash Off event can attend the program for free, and park personnel encourage large groups to contact the park in advance in case more than one presentation would better accommodate participants.
