Big fun doesn’t always have to cost big bucks, or take a lot of time to plan. The 2007 Outstanding Family Event winner, the Hilltop Drive Elementary PTA of Chula Vista, Calif., plans a low-cost Family Campout near the end of the school year that draws 250 people. Families park motor homes or pitch tents on school grounds. They have dinner and take part in a wide range of activities. Best of all? It’s free for families.
