WHAT TO EXPECT

Who: All ages

This is an all age adventure for our growing community! We have four large group sites reserved, depending on RSVPs we will try and bundle sites by age & energy level, keeping one site kid free. No outdoors or camping experience necessary, just a positive attitude and willingness to spend a long weekend outdoors with fun, supportive peeps.

Included in your RSVP:

• A spacious site

  • One tent per family. One parking spot included (Need space for an additional car? Please reach out!)

• Breakfasts & dinners

• Firewood for group bonfire (if current fire ban lifts in October as planned)

• Basecamp (camp kitchen for shared meals, music, etc.)

• Camp activities + unstructured time to explore, unwind, read, hike, etc.

Children & Supervision:

• Parents are responsible for their kids’ safety and for setting the boundaries you’re comfortable with as a family.

• In general, our ethos as a community is that kids should roam, explore, and have adventures in the natural world at every opportunity, and that’s a big part of why we put these campouts on.

• A note on the terrain: The sites have numerous incredible climbing boulders, which kids tend to disappear among almost immediately, not to be seen again except for meals. It’s truly a magical spot, and nothing compares to seeing roving gangs of happy kiddos gleefully crawling about this incredible landscape. Bouldering carries inherent risks, and safety is obviously important. We consider this a great opportunity for parents and kids to work together to establish comfortable boundaries and to safely explore the edges of each others’ comfort zones.

To bring:

• Each family is responsible for its own camping equipment. (Full packing list below.)

  • Don’t have a tent, sleeping bags or … anything? No sweat, you can rent the big stuff (see below) and with a heads up we can likely help you out with smaller odds and ends.

• Lunches, snacks & fillable water jugs + beverages of choice

  • There is no running water at the site, however there is a potable fill up spot at the nearby ranger station. Site does have vault toilets.

• Reusable dishware + cutlery + cups

  • We try to minimize waste. We’ll have a basic wash station set up to clean dishes.

• Personal effects, toiletries, towels, etc.

• Folding chairs

• Camp games to share
