A general over-view of our camp outs goes something like this: arrive whenever on Friday. We are starting something new this year where the club will supply something to eat (hamburgers & hot dogs, soup and sandwich, etc.)on Friday evening prepared by the host. This will be available from 6 - 8 p.m. There will be a $2.50 per head fee for this and you don't have to participate if you don't want to. After supper is a time for socializing with each other. We will play games in the pavilion or someone usually will have a campfire going and everyone is welcome to attend. On Saturday morning we have a community breakfast put on by the men of the chapter. We usually have eggs, cooked any way you want them or Glen's famous omelets, sausages, pancakes, coffee cakes, coffee, and orange juice. We charge $2 a head for this breakfast. Saturdays are spent doing your own thing, whether it be sight seeing, playing games, reading or just relaxing in the sunshine. Our chapter game is called "Gotcha" and is played very competively! It is a home-made board game played very much like Sorry or Trouble. We also have horseshoes, Bocci, Crazy Golf, Bean Bag Baseball and whatever else a member may bring. Saturday night is the big pot luck supper. We usually have a very large and tasty assortment of food so that no one ever goes away hungry. After supper, it's back to the games. On Sunday morning, we have coffee and whatever coffee cakes and leftover deserts from Saturday are contributed by camping members. Everyone usually stays around until the last possible minute before check-out time and then it's off to home till the next month's camp out.
Our last camp out of 2009 was at West Canada Creek Campsites the weekend of Oct. 1-3. We hosted Adirondack Sams for the weekend and had a good time mix and mingling. The weekend started off with rain. Even though it was a bit on the cool side, the sun was out on Saturday and we were able to play a rousing game of Bean Bag Baseball on Saturday with the men against the women. The women beat the men by a good margin! Yeah! On Friday night we shared a finger food pot luck with Adirondack Sams. Ron kept the coffee pot perking all weekend to ward off the chill. Of course, there were multiple games of Gotcha going on in the evening hours. Our breakfast and potluck on Saturday were, as usual, delicious. We wound up the weekend on Sunday morning with coffee and whatever leftover deserts there were from Saturday night and a few fresh made coffee breads. All in all, it was a great camp out with the usual good friends, good food and good fun!
