• Camp Out Night In The Park 2019

Wildomar's sixth annual camp out was a huge success.

A small sampling of the camping area.

I lost count of how many people approached me to thank Wildomar for hosting such a fun event. 

Bridgette Moore waves, while young Sarah Gross (in blue) looks on over her right shoulder. Janet Morales is busy looking over the roster of campers as she gets ready to check in more people.

The cost was five dollars per camper, and for that nominal fee each camper received a shirt, two slices of Pie Nation pizza, s'mores, security guarded camping area and Dunkin Donuts coffee, hot chocolate and donuts.

Also available to all park goers were the various games, and the movie... 1985 classic —The Goonies.

A traditional bounce house, and a double tube slip in slide beyond compare.

This was a much enjoyed feature.

Where were these kinds of bubbles when I was a kid?

Connect Four... like never before.

This was the last tug of war battle of the evening.
It was kids v parents.
It wasn't even close. ☺

I've been to all the camp out events, and this was certainly the biggest crowd to date, in fact it was a sell out. Of the 216 that pre registered, only two families were no shows, leaving the total well over 200. I've heard talk that next year could see the limit raised to 250 campers.

We're starting to get spoiled by the generosity of Faith Bible Church and their high quality ice cream products that have been a common sight for more than a year at Wildomar park events.

Clinton Keith Dental Group has been a major sponsor for all of Wildomar's 2019 park events.

Kenny Mayes of Friends of the Library and Wildomar librarian Sandra Brautigam were signing people up for their Summer reading programs.

The next morning greeted the campers with coffee, hot chocolate and a variety of donuts from Wildomar's Dunkin Donuts.

Real coffee at the park at 7am on a Sunday?

Lot's of "please" and "thank yous" were heard as DD's treats were handed out.

Little cups for hot chocolate, and bigger cups for the coffee.

This is just one of countless groups of siblings that enjoyed the 2019 Camp Out event.

This event, and most other park events have only been successful due to the patience, steadfastness and determination of a handful of people. 

I can't imagine what our parks and/or events would be like without the countless hours put in by Bridgette Moore, Janet Morales and Daniel Torres over the years.

L to R: Cameron Luna, Daniel Torres, Joseph (nice legs) Morabito, Janet Morales, Christy Bowen (kneeling), Mr. Dunkin Donuts —Mike Stout, Bridgette Moore and two campers.

Of course there are many others that have been invaluable helpers throughout the years, but those three have been the make or break difference when it comes to Wildomar parks and events.

Thank you for what you've done to make Wildomar's parks and events memory making places.

Bubbles, bubbles everywhere, and not a drop to drink... yet.

If Wildomar Rap were a bubble, it would be made of cement and not subject to popping... unlike the soap, champaign, or snot varieties.
