A bit about the site:  
Please keep in mind the following times:  Sunrises ~ 7:40am and Sunsets ~ 6:30 pm.  This weekend also marks a new moon (actual new moon will be Thursday) 
which means the site will get dark.  Plan accordingly (bring 
flashlights).  We will have limited lighting throughout the camp.  The 
weather as of today appears to be cooperating.  We have scattered 
showers planned for Friday with partly cloudy skies for Saturday.  
Temperatures for the weekend are expected to have highs in the low 60s 
and lows in the mid 30s.

NEW INFORMATION
Boar Hunt and Market Day staff have been advised that we need to reconsider our youth prices for the following reason.  If youth pay full price (and are non-members) they would be subject to the non-member service charge.  To eliminate the need for these youth to pay the NMS charge, we are dropping our costs for youth (4 - 17 yrs) to $10.  Many have asked us to consider dropping the cost further.  It is with a heavy heart that we cannot accommodate this request.  We currently have 42 people who have registered to attend as staff,  day trips, or campers contributing just below 51% of the total cost to rent our site.  Refunds will be available to parents at Gate.
