A family outing fosters lifelong memories while giving houses the chance to molt in private. Leave your domicile to its own devices with today's Groupon: for $8, you get two nights of tent camping (an $8 value/night) at Guadalupe Canoe and Camping, with up to two nights of live music from Texas Riverbed (an $8 value/concert), located off Highway 281 near the Guadalupe River Bridge in Spring Branch (up to a $32 total value). Live music is only on Friday and Saturday nights, and reservations are recommended for these nights because they fill up quickly. Today's Groupon is for one person, but multiple Groupons may be redeemed per campsite.

Guadalupe Canoe and Camping hosts rustic reprieves on its pristine campgrounds along the rural banks of the Upper Guadalupe River. After hooking up tents or inflatable mansions to electricity and water, adventure seekers can rent a canoe, raft, kayak or inner tube for the day (not included) and explore 4.5 miles of slow flowing waterways. Days of paddling, swimming, and hiking flow flawlessly into evenings spent basking beneath the campsite's shady pecan-tree canopy. An on-site campground manager ensures outdoor expeditions go as smoothly as a porpoise carved out of butter.

Those who opt to camp out on Friday and Saturday nights can treat their ears to live music from Texas Riverbed, with local acts scheduled to send sonic shimmies into evening skies from August through October. Space is limited for each show, so reservations are recommended.
