I started this group because I love to camp. I like to be out in the fresh air and get together with friends and enjoy the sites and smells of the woods. I have found it difficult to find people that are interested in mini week-end camp trips and that is alot of what my job enables me to be able to do, so I decided to start my own meet-up group...lets go camping and get out of the city!
Welcome everyone! This is going to be a great year. I am working hard to ensure that there are different activities at each camping trip that you can choose to visit. Come out and have some fun, I am really excited about this camping season!
Are you tired of paying $100 or more to drive +4 hours to stay for two nights? Well join our group...I plan local camping trips that are within 1-3 hours of New Rochelle/Bronx area and as I spend alot of time researching for the lowest cost campgrounds and/or getting us discount group rates you will be able to save money! And I make sure that there are activities in the area!
Most people don't week-end camp as by time they get off work on a Friday and drive to a campground and set up they only have Saturday left and frustrated about all the work they just stop going...so camp with me...
Each and every camping trip I will have the base camp set up ...basically you arrive set up your tent on your site and bring your chair to the base camp..its as easy as that!
Camp kitchen will always include: a coleman stove, griddle, coffee pot (bring coffee, sugar, creamer) frying pan, pot, spatuala, serving spoons, tables, lanterns, bbq's two (bring charcoal), etc,
... YOU only need to bring your own plates, silverware, cups and Food for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so pack your tent, sleeping bags, chairs and a cooler of food and off you go...I have the rest handled for you!
.. everyone can do all their cooking at my base camping site that I will always post the number so we can spend time together and enjoy each others company.
Note that YOU are responsible for cleaning up anything you use. You make a mess you clean the mess, take something out, then put it back when you are done, so the next person can use it.
..if you cook it you clean it...lets keep it easy (which means that YES I will cook and clean up after the special event week-end dinners--they are posted and NOT each trip...when I cook...you just throw away your plate into the fire!---ahhh now that should make it easier for those who have to work!)
YOU must provide your own chairs to sit in.---Do NOT sit in other MEMBERS chairs please use common sense if you want a more comfortable chair --Bring one with!!
