Itinerary:

The coordinator will arrange the carpools in advance and there MAY be the option of going up on Friday night or Saturday morning.

Tawingo is an old Summer camp where Erik is an Alumnus. The camp has a NO ALCOHOL (or recreational Drug) policy and will be strictly enforced by the coordinator. Also please keep the public displays of affection to a minimum as it is a family camp and there will likely be children with other groups. NOTE: Even as adults the program is like being at Summer Camp again. There will be optional programming (Star gazing, camp fire, bog walk, lots of hiking trails, etc.) to take advantage of, or you can do your own thing. Meal times are the only strict observance and a non-denominational grace is typically sung before each meal. Yes, it is an "old school" inclusive and welcoming atmosphere based on positive esteem building experiences - please respect it.

Tawingo sits on the shore of Lake Vernon on a 200 acre property with numerous hiking trails. The cost includes meals from Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch - a light snack will be available on Friday night.. (Dessert is always served with both Lunch & Dinner - Wahoo!!!).

We will have full access to the property including several cabins that sleep up to 10 (including several in bunk beds), but our plan is to have 6-8 people per cabin depending on the demographic of the group. Tawingo has lots of sporting equipment we can use (mini-putt & tennis courts & baseball diamond on-site). Tawingo has a nice assortment of canoes and other waterfront activities available to enjoy.

As an added bonus you'll get to see Erik on his best behaviour (relatively speaking).

Required Items to Bring:
The coordinator will provide a check list prior to the event, and arrange the carpools . At least a Sleeping bag, pillow, and blankets. Appropriate clothing for outdoor & indoor late fall (in the north country) hiking, playing, paddling, etc. (Slippers are a very good idea.)
