If you’ve always wanted to go camping, but have never tried it, this is your chance.
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is teaming up with Gander Mountain to give first-time campers the gear they need for just $20.
Campers will receive a four-person tent, sleeping pads, chairs, a lantern and camp stove.
The items will have to be returned, and you’ll need to bring your own food, cooking utensils and bedding.
The price also includes a reservation for two nights at a state park.
