  • Ocala Florida Camp and meet and greet November 2011

    Ocala, Florida camp and meet and greet November 2011

    Ocala, Florida campout
    Date- November 18, 19th and 20 2011

    Location- Lake Shore Group Camp, Ocala, Florida.

    Time- Arrive any time after 2pm on Friday. Leave out by 11am on Sunday.

    Food- bring your own. No planned communal meals this go around per the request of NUMEROUS people. In other words, plan to feed yourself the entire time your there.

    Facilities- nice lake view area to camp at. Plenty of grass, some shady trees. A short 20-40 yard walk to hot showers, real toilets and vehicles.

    Feel free to come for the entire time, the day, a couple hours. Your call.

    Kids- families are always welcome. That being said, we expect you to control and keep watch over any children in your care. Their is a lake (drowning hazard) and a fire always going (burn hazard). Make sure your children know not to kick dirt at people, throw sticks and firewood toward people, etc. Think "church behavior" not out of control had 10 bags of candy behavior. Help the campout be enjoyable for EVERYONE.

    Classes and other instruction- open to ideas/requests but as usual their will be numerous free classes.

    Cost of campout- $20. per family, payable at campout. These camp sites aren't free! Of course everyone understands that the low cost of $20. for a weekend of camping and classes is a good value.

    Firewood- If everyone brings a little bit, we should be good. It's almost a 6 hour trip for me, so bringing a truck and trailerload like I do at the GA campout isn't an option unfortunately. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to burn

    Weather- is always unpredictable, plan accordingly.

    Look forward to seeing folks again!

      Wish I was closer... Micanopy used to be where I called home. Now VA is a long way away from Florida. I'm sure it will be a good time.

              No dogs at the site. A lot of folks that have animals at home make day trips.

              Folks are always welcome to come for a few hours, half day, day, overnight or the whole term.

              It's a meet and greet as well as campout.

                            I may be going to North Carolina with my friend Jennifer the week of Thanksgiving, but hopefully I can do both, depending on when we depart. Or the NC trip could possibly fall through.

                            Hope to see and meet folks soon!

                              Had a couple people take me up on the making charcoal challenge to get a free medical kit.

                              Will be bringing an air rifle to do a basic BRM class there at the site also.
