Sites are reserved for NAM families and become available at 12p. Register at the camp store when you arrive, and they’ll direct you to our sites. The fee is $7 per camper/$25 per family max. We’ll serve dinner, smores, and light breakfast. Please bring your tent and sleeping bag, as well as a potluck dish to share, snacks, and your own drinks/cups/water bottles.
It’s a great campsite with a lot to offer! We’ll have a nature hike planned, a canoe trip available, bike trail, as well as a campfire and a night hike. If you’re interested in canoeing on Saturday or Sunday, please email Dave Morrison (davemo@fuse.net), so he can make arrangements.
