Don't despair - if you missed the 2008 CampOut, just make plans to join us in 2009 when we do it all again!! Tentative date will be January 23-25th 2009 for our 3rd Annual CO1 CampOut
Cost per adult will still be $25.00, kids under 16 are free
(they get top bunks or floor only) plus food.
Once you enter Jay B Starkey Wilderness Park the first thing you notice is...silence...total, wonderful, relaxing silence...no car noises, just hushed woodland sounds. This is an 8,300 acre wooded park just filled with birds, animals and trees!! The Park has nearly 20 miles of trails...for biking, walking, birding and horseback riding.
We've rented ALL the Cabins for our weekend. Each Cabin is completely self contained with Parking, Water, Electricity, Fire Pit, BBQ Grill and Picnic Table. Inside each Cabin is one HUGE room with 4 Bunk Beds, Screened Windows and a large Front Porch. Each cabin sleeps 8 people - so there is plenty of room if your group wants a private cabin.
There is a Community area with a large covered Pavilion, several Picnic Tables, more BBQ Grills, Playground with Swings and Slide and a large Fire Pit complete with seating. The central Bath House has flush Toilets and private Showers.
We'll be doing our usual "Community Kitchen" - for those of you who are unfamiliar it goes like this:
