UPCOMING ADVENTURES!!

Camping at Little Blair Valley in Anza-Borrego State Park
Thanksgiving Week: We will be camping beginning on Monday, November 21st. This is primitive camping and will be tons of fun! We will also plan day hikes and adventures for almost every day we're there, so even if you can't join us for camping, you can join us for the day!

William Heise Cabin Camping and Snowy Play Day (we hope!)
Weekend of January 13, 2012
The cabins are all booked and sold out, so if you'd like to cabin camp you should post on on the wall of the event... that way in case anyone has to cancel at the last minute they can contact you and you could go in their spot! We're also planning a snowy play day for that Saturday and will settle for a beautiful hike if there is no snow, so stay tuned!



That's it for this week. I hope you have a fantastic Halloween weekend, and through all the business, find time to explore in nature with your kids, even in your own back yard!



Best,

Janice
