Campers' Group Bulletin - Summer 1999
Campers' Group Bulletin - Summer 1999
The birds are doing it, the bees are doing it, even the mosquitoes are
doing it. And we'll be camping as they do it.
Summer has returned. Cool off with us at the lake, and join us for a night
hike to see a thousand stars glimmering. Waterfalls will be flowing, hot
coals roasting ears of corn and a circle of campers watching wood consumed
in the campfire. Summer has returned.
To reserve a space on a weekend trip or day event, call the leaders no
earlier than seven days before the start of the trip, and not later than
10 P.M. If you need a ride or one of the Campers' Group tents, please
call early. For information earlier than seven days before the trip, call
David Levner at 718-897-1448.
