Top Reasons to Attend our Fall Fest!

Yes, we have a Fall Fest and Super Rooster Trail Fun Run occurring this Saturday, October 3rd, from 10am-3pm! And we think you should join the festivities. 

What's that?

Do we have any good reasons for you to attend? 

Why, as a matter of fact, yes we do.

Conveniently, we've compiled a list.



- IT'S RUN BY OUR CAMPFIRE COUNCIL. They're a group of former staff, alumni, and Camp parents who are volunteering their time, energy, and talents to bettering the Camp community. As a 65 year old facility, it is vital that we have this group of friends working to support and give back to Camp. We appreciate them very much and hope you come check out this great event they've put together.

- SUPER ROOSTER TRAIL RUN. Campers love our Rooster Run. You get up in the morning, have a little run, have a little jog, have a little walk, have a little tour of Camp. And this is going to be a SUPER version of that! It's a full 5k, taking several winding loops through Camp, out our range road, and along a beautiful trail through Stokes Forest that rejoins Camp property on the far side of Lake Shawanni. It's a great way to see the woods in October, and the first time we've ever done this course. Also, it starts at 10am instead of 7am. There's a lot to love about that as well. 



- GOSH, AUTUMN IS NICE AT CAMP. Speaking of the woods in October, there's a lot of perks to that situation. You've got leaves beginning to change! You've got yellows! You've got reds! You've got oranges! You've still got greens! Cause it's still the beginning! You've got a bit of brisk temperature! You've got a crisp chill in the air! You've got an opportunity to wear a light jacket! Yes, your favorite light jacket it hasn't been appropriate to wear all summer-and-early-fall-long, now's the time. Get that light jacket. Bring it to the Fall Fest. A dream come true.




- SUMMER FUN IN THE FALL. After the Super Rooster Trail Run, The Campfire Council has a great batch of activities planned. Fun fall tie-dye, pumpkin games, pumpkin crafts, apple cider 'round Lakeside Firering, and tractor-drawn hayrides around Camp are just a few of the can't-miss activities on the agenda.




- AN EXCLUSIVE, SPECIAL, AND OTHER WORD-THAT-MEANS-IT'S-IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT SUMMER CAMP 2016.  An announcement?! Announcements are great. Especially Summer Camp announcements. Especially Summer Camp announcements that happen at Fall Fests! What could it be about? I'll give a hint: Nope, no I won't, actually. No hint. You'll have to attend our Campfire Council's Fall Fest to find out.
