We will camp at shared campsites at the state park. Campsites have a water spout, but do not have electricity. Showers and restrooms are within walking distance.

You will need to bring your own tent, sleeping bag, and camping supplies. Some supplies are available for borrowing, but please confirm this with me before you register.
.
We will camp rain or shine. However, in the event of forecasted severe weather, The Cavewoman Way reserves the right to cancel the event. If the event is cancelled, registration fees will be refunded.

Our agenda will include a blend of scheduled activities (such as guided hikes, fireside storytelling, and stargazing in Astronomy Field) and free time. During free time, you can hike, nap, rent a boat at the lake, or whatever else you'd like to do! (Boat rental availability is determined by the park, and is subject to weather and water levels).
