Virginia Creeper Campout Details

Friday, June 11th, 2010:

We are trying to leave a little earlier than normal to get to our campsite before the offices shut down for the day. If this is a problem, please contact the Scoutmaster as soon as possible.

Arrival at Church: 4:00pm
Departure from Church: 4:30 or as soon as everyone has arrived
Dinner: We will be stopping on the way up to eat, please bring money.

Saturday, June 12th:

After breakfast at our campsite, we will be heading to the outfitters to receive our bikes and instructions for riding the VA Creeper Trail. Our rental includes the bikes, helmets, and water bottles. However, if you prefer to wear your own helmet please bring it along. You also need something that can fit on your back or tied to your bike to hold your lunch, more water, and personal effects for that afternoon. Rain Gear is a good suggestion as well. Everyone will need to wear closed toed shoes. Personal First Aid kits is also a good idea. Be advised there are several stores along the way down the trail that you could stop and buy food or drinks at. Also, once at the bottom there are ice cream stores as well. A little spending money might come in handy.
