Wild Med Family Camp

Petit Jean State Park

Spend a weekend learning, exploring, and making memories together at Natural State Wild Med Family Camp at Petit Jean State Park! Designed for families with children ages 5 and up, this weekend blends practical outdoor education with plenty of time to simply enjoy one of Arkansas's most beautiful state parks. Saturday's schedule will include age-appropriate first aid and wilderness survival sessions for both kids and adults, along with creative activities, outdoor adventures, family recreation time, and an evening around the campfire. Families can participate in as much or as little as they'd like—there will be plenty of time built in to hike, fish, explore, or simply relax together.

We're also excited to welcome several local partners who will make this weekend even more special. Frontier Climbing will join us for an introductory climbing experience, The Local Spark will lead a guided art activity at our open-air pavilion, and Four Pillar Health will offer an adult-focused wellness and longevity session. Natural State Wild Med will lead the weekend's first aid and survival programming, with separate sessions designed for children and adults. On Sunday morning, we'll also offer an optional American Heart Association CPR certification course for adults, with childcare available during the course.

Families can choose the experience that works best for them. Our Family Camp Pass is $249 per family (up to five family members) and includes access to Saturday's camp programming, activities, and experiences; families may simply come for the day or arrange their own accommodations at Petit Jean, including a cabin, lodge room, RV site, or separate campsite. For families who want the full camping experience, our Camp With Wild Med package is $349 per family (up to five family members) and includes the Family Camp experience plus one of our limited private group-camping sites. Only seven group-camping family spots are available, so overnight space is extremely limited.
