We will eat breakfast and supper together at Site #91. Lunch is on your own. We need volunteers to cook suppers and breakfasts beginning Wednesday April 26 through Sunday April 30 (except Friday supper).
If you volunteer to cook a meal then all other meals are free of charge to you. If you do not cook a meal, then you pay the cook $5.00 for each meal that you eat. What a deal! The Chapter will provide stoves, paper plates, silverware, cups. Even if you don’t camp, come by to eat a meal or sit around the campfire!
Friday night will be a communal steak and baked potato supper. Everyone bring your own steak and potato. The Chapter will have the grill and hot charcoal ready for you to grill your own steak!
We need an accurate head count of who will be at the campout and what meals you will eat. This is needed for the cooks to adequately purchase and prepare the meals.
On Thursday, April 27 we will travel to Upper Reed Creek and perform a stream conservation project in support of the US Forest Service and GA Department of Natural Resources.
For other activities during the campout you may explore the Park, hike to nearby scenic waterfalls, photograph spring wildflowers, visit nearby Cashiers, NC, or fish the many streams in the Tri-State area. Remember to carry the appropriate State fishing license!
To sign up to cook a meal or to say you are coming, contact the Campout Coordinator Terry Rivers.
