Bullet Day Canoe Trip

September 11

NOTE NEW DATE!!! A lazy, winding river, a canoe, lunch on a sand bar and good company--what a great way to celebrate the end of summer! Join us as we lead you down the Skunk River. We'll provide the canoes, the lunch, the life jackets--you bring yourself and a canoe buddy, sun screen, a water bottle and maybe some bug spray! Plan to meet at camp at 9 a.m. and we'll take it from there. If you don't have a full day to commit to recreation, there is even a half-day option if you let us know in advance. Register early as space is limited; registration fee of $17 per person ($10 per child 12 & under) includes lunch and snacks. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. River levels will continue to be monitored for safe conditions and registrants will be contacted by phone if cancellation is warranted. Pre-registration is required by phone or email.  Click here to register.  Any questions, please contact Johanna Bontrager, program director.

 

Bullet Sing & S'mores

Join us for an evening of fun for all ages! Starting at 6 p.m., we'll raise our voices together in an outdoor hymn sing led by Heather Herschberger, sprinkled with some of the favorite camp songs. Following singing, we'll gather around the campfire for a s'mores smorgasbord (this was a big hit last year!) and stories around the campfire from the first director of Crooked Creek, Ken and Noreen Gingerich.  Free will donations will be accepted; pre-registration is not required. Just show up and bring a friend! Any questions, please contact Johanna Bontrager, program director.
