Camping Clinic: Tent Care & Repair

Learn how to take care of your tent, from replacing tent poles to de-funkifying a musty canvas, at the Camping Clinic: Tent Care & Repair, 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 11, 2020, at the McKinley Park field house, 2210 W. Pershing Road, Chicago.

At this workshop, participants will learn how to prevent common tent problems and select equipment, as well as how to patch holes, replace poles, fix zippers, refresh a musty tent, reseal seams and rewaterproof a tent.

The clinic is part of a monthly series of Camping in the Parks events taking place at Chicago Park District locations throughout the summer, including the Family Campout in McKinley Park on Saturday, August 22.
