Camping: Nights of July 6 and 7. Your choice: both nights, one night, or neither night. Your responsibility: you must reserve your own accommodations.
Group Campfires: Monday and Tuesday nights. Family & kid friendly. A chance to socialize with your fellow chess players.
Park Activities: Hiking trails, swimming (beach), canoeing, fishing, stockfishing, or just hanging out.
You never know what'll work until you try it. I'll declare it a success even if it's just small but friendly group.
Organizer & Arbiter: NA Don Parakin
