G.S.W.W. OUTDOOR WEEKEND 2010
Camp Robbinswold March 26th – 28th
Hello and Welcome to the 49th Outdoor Weekend! We are looking forward to meeting you and spending a weekend at beautiful Camp Robbinswold.
** Camp will be held REGARDLESS of the weather! **
**Some facts that you’ll need to know:
• Driving directions are attached; review them carefully. (Some have found navigation systems get "lost" in these rural areas.) Please be sure to allow ample time for travel and arrival to avoid stress and missing any experience we have planned for you.
• Have the linked "parking permit" filled out and placed on your dashboard to speed the parking process. Parking at Camp Robbinswold is limited. Parking attendants will help you park your vehicle and direct you. Carpooling is encouraged. See info below if you would like to "share a ride."
• You may check in with staff at the Lodge between 5:30-6:45. Time permitting, you may settle into your unit, enjoy "early bird activities" with special guest trainers for this event, or just relax after your long drive and get acquainted with the other campers. (Our volunteer cooks have planned a tasty soup to warm and welcome you.)
• The formal opening is at 7:00 in the lodge (Camp is over at 2:30 Sunday.)
