What is Texas Outdoor Family (TOF)?
TOF is a program designed by Texas State Parks to reintroduce people to the sport of camping by making it easy to try. TOF provides all the camping essentials for each family that has a reservation with us for our scheduled programs. This gear includes a quality tent, cots, sleeping pads, stove, lantern, pots, pans, and more! The program also includes demonstrations on how to use the gear and hosts recreational activities specific to the resources at each park.
Through the years of hosting, the TOF program saw a demand that our staff couldn’t keep up with. To help service this demand the TOF program created “community partnerships.” These partnerships are with organizations that see value in sharing the outdoors with their audience and meet eligibility criteria. These criteria are any one of the following:
- The organization is a veterans service group
- The organization’s audience is made up of youth, of whom 50% are eligible for a free or reduced lunch.
- The partner organization has received a CO-OP grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife
