We are going camping July 14th-15th.

Summer is here and it is time to sign up for our camping weekend. Whether you wish to say for the whole weekend, join in for a bonfire or a meal the information you need is below.  Sign up by Tuesday July 11th so we can plan for you and your family. If you have more questions please connect with Al Chan directly (his contact info is in the weekly church email. If you are not on the email list, email office@westsprings.church to sign-up to receive these emails).

July 16 tear down at your leisure

Supper on July 14 and 15 6pm

Bonfire at 7or 730 pm

Do I have to stay the whole time?

Come one or two nights or only for the day. (But tell us so we can have the supplies on hand if you are eating with us.)

Meals:

We will have a communal cookout for supper will be provided the evening of the 14 and 15 and breakfast provided the morning of the 15th and 16th.

Cost will be determined by the number of individuals eating together.

Please plan to provide your own noon day meals and snacks to share.

(If everyone can make their own sandwiches for lunch, then it will save you bringing cooking gear since I will have the hot meals covered. ) 

If you want to make coffee you might want to bring a small burner to heat up the pot.

Details:

·       Open pit outhouse.  Bring a roll of toilet paper and wet wipes.

·       Lots of fire wood and a fire pit available. Al will bring the firestarter and axe.

·       Bring your own water supplies, no water is at site.

·       No electricity is at site, bring a small battery to charge your cell phone.  Cell phone reception is spotty. 

·       Tent or car camping, there are two cabins but they are used by the owners of the property.

·       We are open to day visitors, come for supper or the bonfire

·       This is a heavily wooded area on a hill.  Our campsite will be a flat spot. Safe for kids to wander around however this area does have wildlife.

·       This is private property so we won't be following the rather restrictive Parks rules, that being said I will still follow animal safe rules around food storage.  You are welcome to bring bear spray, though a few others will have it.

·       The town of Millarville is approximately 15 km away so its easy to get supplies you forgot.

Sign Up

 Let Al Chan know if you are attending by Tuesday, July 11th by texting or emailing him at the contact info provided in the email. Include your name, the number attending, if you are planning to sleep overnight, the meals you will be joining.
