• Horseshoes and darts
• Supervised archery
• Nature hikes and general exploring including Mt. AshCalUke
• There is a creek to play in if you like really cold water and hiking back up steep meadows.
• If last year is any indication, the kids may organize a huge game of capture the flag in the woods

Come up when you are able. The “doors” officially open at 1:00pm: come and go whenever works for you. We plan to have a campfire (depending on what fire officials have to say about the conditions), and camping is encouraged.
