During the social hour, you’ll have the chance to mingle with your camper, their trip mates, and other families. This relaxed setting allows you to hear firsthand about their adventures and make new connections. As the evening progresses, join us for a delicious supper, followed by trip talks, slideshows, and special presentations that showcase the highlights of your camper’s journey.
If you’re staying overnight, accommodations will be provided (in tents) on the ball field.
Remember to bring your sleeping bag and other essentials for a comfortable stay! We strongly recommend packing light to make your travel and stay more convenient.
Pro tip: If you’re a “Princess and the Pea” type when it comes to sleeping, consider brining a Thermarest (or yoga mat) for extra comfort in a tent! You can also bring a small travel pillow or can roll up a sweater for head support.
