Everyone who went had a great time out there, even asking for more campouts like this one!

For our October campout in 2024, we went to the birch creek unit of lake Sommerville state park where we got a ton of sign offs, did a cardboard boat race, lots of fishing on the lake, and did a night hike where we saw a rare comet, the milky way, some of the planets like Venus and Saturn, and an epic moonrise.
