Parking always becomes an issue, so please make an effort to carpool. Keep in mind that you will need a Minnesota State Park vehicle permit if you do not already have an annual pass ($7/day or $25/year).
When
You can show up anytime on Saturday or Sunday. Take a look at the list of activities below and get an idea of what you might want to do and just show up at the designated meeting place. Don't forget to arrive early enough to get your tent set up and get settled beforehand so you can make it in time for the activities.
What to Bring
- Lunch is not provided on Saturday or Sunday so make sure you bring your own lunch and snacks.
- This is car camping so bring your tent and sleeping bag and whatever you need to be comfortable for the weekend. If you are unfamiliar with “car camping” click here for a sample packing list.
- Bring whatever gear you will need for the activities you plan on participating in. If you plan on biking, don't forget your helmet!
- If you need to borrow anything from the cage, e-mail Kelly C. to make arrangements for you.
- To cut down waste, bring a reusable cup and eating utensils for Saturday's dinner and Sunday's breakfast.
- If you have any firewood, bring that along too.
