Get the sleeping bags ready!

A free camping event will be held online.

It’s time to camp out in the stars while travelling no further than your backyard as Casey Council gets set to hold its first ever digital Casey Camp Out.

Council is encouraging households to get together and set up camp in their backyard or lounge room and join other residents online for laughs, music, creativity and competitions when the free event takes place on Friday 18 September.

There will be plenty of activities on offer and many prizes up for grabs during the three-hour session.

Test your knowledge in the trivia quiz, keep the kids busy with a scavenger hunt, and show off your talent in the camp sing-a-long.

See who can create the most creative and original facemask, chill out to some entertaining storytelling and upload pictures of your sweet camp set-up.

The event will run from 6pm to 9pm. To register your household, please email communitystrengthening@casey.vic.gov.au and be sure to RSVP via City of Casey’s Facebook event page.
