Pack Up All Your Cares and Woes

We suggest these easy tips to make your Camp weekend a real success:

-- Read your registration packet as soon as you receive it to "wrap your head around the weekend." You'll have overall instructions, driving instructions, a suggested packing list plus some FORMS TO RETURN. Mail 'em in pronto.

-- At the same time, review the driving instructions to visualize your journey. Consider leaving EARLY on Friday (take the day off, you earned it!) for a more leisurely drive. Stop on the way for lunch. If you arrive at Camp prior to the 3 PM check-in, not a problem.

-- Pull out your sleeping bag a week or so before. No need to scramble at the last minute trying to find this less-used item.

-- Test your flashlight. Bet those batteries are dead!!

-- A few days before Camp, check weather.com for zip code "92305".

-- Load your car the night before. Remember bottled water. Fill the gas tank. And check to see that your spare tire is in good shape.

-- Don't forget to pack your SENSE OF ADVENTURE! Every Camp is a little different and the itinerary is "tweaked" practically up 'til you arrive (due to circumstances beyond our control sometimes), so leave your expectations at home and jump in!
