CAMPGROUND: This year we will have the entire area. We will move to the riverfront side with bigger sites that can handle RV/popups and large tents. All sites have power and water. Also better restroom facilities and a pavilion with grills, picnic tables, etc. We will have ball fields and a playground close by. Campsites will be assigned, so put in a request if you want to be close to a companion tribe.
PRICE: $75.00 per family
CANOEING: This year we will be doing a 9 mile canoe trip, lasting approximately 2 hours. We will be bused upstream and finish at the campground. We will do this canoe trip as a Nation on Saturday afternoon. A fun pass will be available that includes a canoe ride plus go karts and putt putt golf. This will not be part of the Nation schedule, but could be a good Sunday activity.
NATION GAMES: We would like to do Nation games/contests on Saturday morning. Ideas include: Tug of war, Sponge dodgeball, Capture the Lance, etc. Additional ideas are welcome.
MEALS: Like last time, the Nation will be providing dinner Saturday night. It will be a pig roast done by Bob “Big Bear” Mahaney. He will need until 6:00 to finish the pig. Campers are responsible for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, SATURDAY lunch will be provided by the Nation. Some tribes have done a group breakfast in the past and this can be a lot of fun and a good bonding experience. There are restaurants in the area including McDonald’s.
BEAN CONTEST: We will once again have our annual bean contest on Friday evening. One entry per tribe. We will have electricity in the pavilion.
NIGHT HIKE: Kevin Adkins has once again offered to lead our night hike on Friday night after the bean contest.
