Veterans Camping Weekend at Wilcox Park

Dutchess County Parks and Veterans’ Services will once again host a Veterans’ Camping Weekend at Wilcox Memorial Park in Milan, in collaboration with Mental Health America of Dutchess County’s Vet2Vet Program. Veterans, active-duty military personnel and their families can take advantage of free camping at the park’s tent and recreational vehicle sites June 3-5.

In addition to free camping, the weekend will include a fireside chat on June 3 at 8 p.m. for attendees to discuss concerns of many veterans, such as suicide, homelessness and mental health challenges, and a free recognition picnic at noon in Pavilion A on June 4. Veterans and their families do not have to camp to take part in either the fireside chat or recognition picnic.

Reservations are required. Call (845) 298-4600.
