You're invited by Albert Lea Park and Recreation to grab your friends and head outdoors to camp at Edgewater Park.

Kids from ages 7 to 13 years old will enjoy canoeing, scavenger hunts, games, a guided night hike and many more camp activities.  They will also make lunch, supper and breakfast the next morning over the campfire.

Items that should be brought with on the camping trip will be handed out after you register your child.  Some tents will be available, but if you have your own, you are encouraged to bring it.

The group will canoe from Brookside Boat Landing to Edgewater Park.

Camp-Out is sponsored by Parks and Recreation and ISD #241 Environmental Learning Center.

If you go:

• Wednesday, August 10
• Drop-off kids Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.

The City of Albert Lea will be spraying for mosquitoes at dusk on Wednesday, June 29th.

If it rains, the alternate day is be Thursday, June 30th.

The chemical used is deemed safe for people and pets.

The City of Albert Lea wants to remind you to leave it on the lawn.  They say mowing grass clippings into the street is a violation of City ordinances.

The grass clippings can land in storm sewers which drain into the lakes and can end up as algae blooms.

City hall requests that you sweep up any clippings that land in the street or gutter.

 Also a reminder that if you let the grass grow too tall, you could be ticketed by police.
