4th of July Updates

Hi Members,

The 4th of July holiday is next weekend, which means another long weekend to enjoy at the campground! We have a few updates and a schedule of events for you:

Parking

For the holiday weekend, from Thursday evening through Sunday, you’re welcome to park two vehicles entirely within your campsite boundaries if space allows. This helps us maximize the overflow lot for boats and boat trailers. Please remember that the reserved parking spots in front of the office are for staff and vendors only, not for members or guests.

Boat Launch/Docks

The boat launch has been repaired, and the water level is slowly rising. Please avoid power loading boats onto trailers. Dock parking is first come, first served. If you have a smaller boat that can get into shallower water, please come in closer to shore and leave space at the end of the docks for larger boats. Beaching watercraft is prohibited, and with the low water level this year, please be aware of several large rocks that were not visible in the past.

Staff

Mike Rath will be the only staff member working during the holiday weekend. Please direct any problems or concerns to Mike.

Pool

Pool hours are noon to dusk. Staff will open the pool earlier if daily maintenance is completed before noon.

Schedule of Activities

Good Evening,

There have been a couple of changes for the weekend activities, the updated schedule is below:

Medallion Hunt 9:00 AM

Kelly Tracy and Doreen DeHaan will be coordinating this event. Please meet at the Gathering Room to start. New clues will be posted every ten minutes until the medallions are found.  The medallions will be hidden on common grounds and not at individual sites.

Potluck: 5:00 PM

Bring your favorite dish to share! The association will be providing hot dogs, burgers, and buns. A volunteer to cook would be greatly appreciated!

Have a safe and fun holiday weekend!
