We at HATS are so excited about the 5th grade dad and son canoe campout! 

We will be at the Corps of Engineers Lofers Bend East Park, near the dam at Lake Whitney. This is located by taking I-35 south to Hillsboro, then west on Hwy 22 to the park, about 1 1/2 hours from Dallas. 

We have canoes reserved. We will be spending Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Lake Whitney, teaching the dads and sons what would be the equivalent of the Boy Scout canoeing merit badge! This will be a great weekend of fun, learning, and dad & son bonding with canoe instruction, paddling techniques, and canoeing games!

The theme this weekend is 'Learning to communicate without words!' You and your son will be playing games that relate to non-verbal communication, the use of facial expressions that communicate your feelings, what your body language is saying for you. Most important of all is the communication you learn with your son in steering your canoe!

The investment is $309 per team, which includes the camp sites, canoes, and canoe gear. As with all HATS campouts, each dad and son team brings their own meals, with a group campfire Saturday night
