Itinerary:

We are going camping in April to MacGregor Point: an all- season park on the shores of Lake Huron, just south of Port Elgin. MacGregor Point is my 1st camping trip with TOC back in 2006. Whether it is November or April, it's still be a cold night but we stay only one night to see how well we survive.

MacGregor Point is one of the most ecologically area with more than 200 species of birds have been sighted, a well- known spot to look for migrating birds. Even the near Visitor Centre can be an excellent spot to hand-feed the chickadees and nuthatches. This year round facility has guided hikes, campfire circle, hiking trails, etc.

You don't need special technical gear to camp in the cold, but there are a few tricks in keeping warm. We'll be having a meeting before that is mandatory to attend to discuss gears and sharing.
