AUGUSTA (AP) — The deadline is approaching for a raffle that will award a free weekend of camping to 44 Maine families who have never before been camping.

The Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands says the deadline for its First-Time Campers raffle is Thursday, with the drawing being held Friday.

The raffle is open only to Maine families who have never been camping. Each selected family will get the free use of camping equipment, receive gifts from sponsors and be supported throughout the weekend by park staff.
