Some Camping Trip Details!!!

As you may have heard, the SPOT class is having its annual camping trip on June 11-13th. This year the trip will be at Bennett Spring State park with camping and accommodations at Lottie’s Rustic Retreat, about 4 miles from the entrance to the park. Here are a few of the things to do in the area over the weekend:

1) Trout fishing
2) Bait and Lure fishing in the pond at Lottie’s.
3) Swimming
4) Hiking
5) Canoeing
6) Outlet mall!!
7) Horseshoes and washers
8) Campfire
9) …many other fun things!



Lottie’s has both a cabin that will sleep 10 (6 in actual bedrooms!). It has a full kitchen, HDTV with movies, a large “party” deck, a smoker and two bar-b-que pits, as well as a well stocked fishing pond. It has two bathrooms and one shower. It is a private location…so it will be all ours!!!! The indoor rooms will be first come, first served just to be fair! All others will camp on the grounds (we have quite a few extra tents and supplies for those that might need it!)

Rates are as follows:
In cabin lodging: $12.50 per person per night
Tents: $2.50 per person per night
Electric Hook-up for campers (there is 1): $5 per night in addition to the tent per-person fee.

We will work out meal details as the date gets closer. In order to get group rates, this year we will need a small deposit for both camping and canoeing. Next week we will send around a sign-up sheet so that we know how many will be attending (and canoeing!). This will give us the ability to negotiate canoe rates!
