Itinerary:

Awenda Provincial Park is a gorgeous place to go camping.

Awenda offers biking, swimming, hiking, canoeing, etc., so you won't be bored! (Personally, I hope to do some intensive hammocking.) There's a gorgeous beach, but it is a little bit of a hike (though the hike itself is easy). Please note, there will be no organized activities once we're there, so you will have the freedom to (responsibly) explore on your own or with other event participants. [NOTE that if you go canoeing, TOC policy is that all members MUST wear a personal flotation device while in a small watercraft.]

Carpools will be worked out between participants to coordinate mutually convenient times and pickup places, but you should be available to leave the city NO later than 5:00PM on the Friday evening.

Please ... make every effort to attend the pre- trip meeting on Tuesday, June 7th at 7pm at Chalkers Pub (247 Marlee Ave., near Glencairn Subway Station) as this is where food, camping gear, tent and carpool arrangements will be made. Failure to do so will result in so much more work for me as the organizer that it would really be unfair if you didn't do your absolute best to show up. :->

Please also note that since park restrictions limit the number of people per site to 6 and the number of tents per site to 3, you may have to share your tent with someone else. The good part of this is that you don't need to own a tent in order to camp with us! :)

I've been asked if there are showers at this campground. My facetious answer is: "Why would I go camping somewhere where there are no showers???" Never fear, TOCers - I only do princess camping!!! :->

Sleeping bag
