 On to the purpose of this email. This is your last call to participate in this weekend’s Family Camp. We can still take a few more overnight cabin campers at $20/person and you can still sign up for the Saturday Day camp option at $15/person through tomorrow at Noon. Currently, the weather forecast on Saturday is for a high around 70 with a slight chance of rain in the morning. Between the proximity to home, the reasonable cost and the weather, there’s no excuse for not taking part in our Family Camp. Those attending this weekend, please keep reading and check out the attachments for more information. In other news, the Council’s Summer Camping registration has been extended to May 15th.
