Where to find egg hunts in Clark County this Easter weekend

Hunting for hunts? On April 15, intrepid egg gatherers can hop along the Easter Bunny’s trail as colorful containers of candy dot the landscape. Luckily, Clark County offers hunters an egg hunt every hour of Saturday morning, until early afternoon. If you’d rather wait until Easter Sunday — to go exploring bedecked in your Easter best — Camas is where you’ll want to be. On April 16, Crown Park will be filled with eggs and its annual best-bonnet contest, while the Branch Church will be hosting an egg hunt for all after its service at Union High School.

The accompanying Easter egg hunts have been grouped by where, followed by when. All are free and take place April 15, unless otherwise noted. Be sure to bring your own hunting gear, a decorated bag or basket, to haul home all your treasures.
