Community through camping

Growth happens around the fire

imWorkshops learning doesn't stop at the classroom door. Our community gathers outdoors — campfires, trails, and park pavilions — because some conversations only happen under open sky.

Pay It Forward in action · October 18, 2026

Campfire, S’mores & Night Gazing

Funds from Pay It Forward have made this project possible for Together Laredo Foundation: an evening of campfire conversation, s’mores, and night gazing at Lake Casa Blanca for Together Laredo’s own group.

This is an organized experience for Together Laredo’s group, not an open public event.

When

6:00–9:00 PM
Where
Lake Casa Blanca State Park
Hosted by
imWorkshops & Together Laredo Foundation

Our first Pay It Forward community partnership

LUPE Arte is sponsoring the workshop, and Lake Casa Blanca State Park is covering park entrance fees and providing a park safety instructor. Their support helps bring this community experience to life.

Campfire, S’mores and Night Gazing — October 18, 6–9 PM at Lake Casa Blanca. Hosted by imWorkshops and Together Laredo Foundation, with support from LUPE Arte and Texas State Parks.

The Camping Campaign

Help us take learning outside

The Camping Campaign funds outdoor community experiences — gear, sites, and scholarships so cost never keeps anyone off the trail. Every Pay It Forward gift sends someone camping who couldn't otherwise go.
