ALL ATTENDING PACK OVERNIGHTER THIS SATURDAY:
The weather forecast @ Camp Mack for Saturday/Sunday shows a low of 35F overnight (wind chill to 31F) so we will NOT be able to camp overnight.
HOWEVER, we can still have a great time on Saturday afternoon and evening!
Here’s what we have planned:
Everyone should still plan to arrive at 1:00 pm.
Please park in the big gravel lot on the west side of the main camp road and then meet at the Camp Dining Hall to sign in.
We’ll have a fun-filled afternoon that includes a short hike, some field games, and a seasonal Fall activity. Our evening program will include dinner in the camp site and then a pack campfire at the big fire ring.
The plan is that everything will be finished by 8:00 pm.
Things to bring:
* Dress in layers for the warm afternoon but a cooler evening
* Sturdy shoes/boots
* Water bottle
* Get ready to lead your favorite song skit or cheer @ the camp fire
Any questions call me at 475-7555.
