Not So Urban Athletics: Tobyhanna State Park Campout

*** EVENT IS NOT FULL. YOU MUST SUBMIT PAYMENT TO MOVE FROM THE WAITLIST TO A CONFIRMED RSVP ***

Join me and some of your soon to be friends as we get back to nature for a weekend of summer time group camping at Tobyhanna State Park, an oasis in the Poconos region of Pennsylvania.

In the park you can do as much or as little as like. It's the season for water activities so you can hang out at the sandy beach getting some sun or take a swim. There are canoe and kayak rentals available if you'd prefer to paddle around the 440 acre lake. Or bring your PA fishing license and drop a hook in to the water to try and catch your dinner. If you prefer even more activity, take a hike on the miles and miles of trails that crisscross the park.

The plan...

We'll arrive Friday afternoon at the campground to set up our tents and other gear. From here we can do as much or as little as we'd like. In the evening we'll cook and have a communal meal over an open fire, and spend the rest of the night doing the usual camping activities -- partaking in adult beverages and stuffing our faces with snacks, playing games, and shooting the breeze.

Saturday we'll get up and make breakfast, then the day is ours to play as you wish. I plan to do several of the nearby nearby hikes to enjoy the spring scenery. That evening more campfire cooking, socializing, and merry making will be had, until we nod off.

Sunday we awake to enjoy our last meal together, break down our campsites, then head home.

Cost...

$21.76 per person, click below to pay:

CLICK TO PAY

Cost is for TWO nights of camping per person, checking out on Sunday. You don't have to stay two nights but that is what you're paying for. Payment is via Venmo. If you prefer an alternate payment method, like Zelle or PayPal, message me.

Space is limited so until I receive your payment your RSVP is not confirmed and your attendance is not guaranteed. Once I have confirmation of receipt of your payment I will move you to confirmed RSVP status.

Food plan...

To keep it simple, everyone is responsible for bringing what they would like to eat and drink. You'll need food for dinner Friday; breakfast and dinner Saturday; and breakfast Sunday and it will be semi-communal, meaning bring what you would like to eat for yourself but perhaps also enough to share with a few other people. Simple to cook but interesting items are best.
