I know it seems early, but it really is time to plan for our church campout!Camping dates are set for Friday, July 18-Sunday, July 20. We will again camp at the Covert Township Park located on 32nd Avenue, off Blue Star Highway, south of town. It is a cozy, shady campground with 62 campsites on 50 acres with two playgrounds and a 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan. Check out their website at http://www.covertpark.com/.
The rate is $29 a night, for a total of $58. There is a $3 a night charge for pets. You are allowed 2 cars that fit on your site without charge. Cancellation of a reservation within 2 weeks of July 18 will cost you $29, but if you cancel earlier there is no charge.
For those who have not camped with us before here is a little overview. Each family has their site. One RV or two tents are allowed on a site, with a maximum of 6 people per site. Some of us tent camp and some of us have recreational vehicles. We have a cook out together Saturday night and a pancake breakfast together Sunday morning and we are on our own for the other meals. Check in on Friday is between 3 and 10 pm with most people coming as they can after work. We always help each other set up. Saturday morning and afternoon we like to go to the beach to find lake treasures and swim as a group. We all look forward to Ron Darling’s extreme games in the late afternoon. Then we have our potluck cook out and campfire time. Sunday morning we start with our joint pancake breakfast followed by a Eucharist service in the park. Check out time is 1 pm. All parishioners are welcome!
PLEASE RSVP WITH KATHY SICARD FOR A SITE BY SUNDAY, APRIL 13! 637-7405
