Wait! - It's in the 80's, and you are talking about winter camping?
|
Yes, because winter is right around the corner, and the time to start planning is now. Let's share some ideas and best practices for winter camping at the next roundtable, Thursday, October 8th at 7:00 at Washington High School. If you would like to speak, please fill out this form:

What are some possible topics?
|
- Great winter camping spots
- Getting new parents ready for their first winter campout
- Convincing new parents to go on their first winter campout
- Winter camping for beginners or advanced
- Anything else you can think of related to winter camping
This roundtable will not replace winter camp awareness, but it can give you a leg up as you look to winter camp. Join us at roundtable, and be prepared to learn and to share.
