To see photographs of past events  click on the galleries link on the menu.  The schedule of proposed events is now on our MSN site.  This site will contain summaries of events or plans.

Linus likes to take his blanket everywhere.  As campers, we have to carry our sleeping bags, so the Linus theme seems a fitting tribute on this page.  The movement of the music is also not unlike the feeling of hiking.


Recent Events

and not so recent ones are illustrated by the photos.   The photos are linked to related websites and so is the underlined  text on this page.  
 
Note:   Any planned event is subject to change, due to availabilty, weather, transportation, or other concerns.

We ran out of room on Tripod and had to add new pictures to other free sites. The gallery links to them. Be sure to go to the galleries link on the menu (left side of page)  To return to the home site, you may need to use the back arrow provided by your web connection.  The main menu is likely to disappear when you visit pages that are not on Tripod.  While navigation may be a little more difficult, we feel that we need to continue adding photos from our events for the enjoyment of Youth Campers and their families. Many of the photos are best viewed by using the slide show option when offered. Photos are now being stored at Webshots, Yahoo, Tagworld, Angelfire and various other free storage space. Each has a unique format for viewing pictures. Some sites require registration, but all are legitimate sites and you need not fear registering.
 
Pictures of our June trip to St. Augustine/Anastasia Island State Park were added to our MSN Groups website.  This site may require registration in order to view the pictures.  It is free, however.  We hope that you will take the time to register so that you can view the pictures.  Sometimes we can only get free storage space for all our photos by "jumping through hoops" or having our members and visitors agree to the requirements of the webspace provider.

Recent Events

Our most recent event was an Aug. 6 trip to Pinellas County.  The main event was going to the beach at Indian Rocks Beach.  One of the most exciting things that we saw during this event was schools of sting rays that swam literally within inches of us.  It was quite a thrill.
 
The Aug. 4 event was a day at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot.  A great time was had by all.  Other recent events have included five days in Merrit Island, which included a shuttle launch, windsurfing classes, fishing and swimming.  Prior to that, a trip of three weeks duration included 12 states and 2 Canadian provinces.  This has been our most ambitious activity ever.
 
Be sure to come back to the website to view the photos of these events that will be uploaded. 
 
We are also pleased that we have had 5 new campers in the last several months.  Mervyn, Armando, Andy, Tray and Maria are now among the ranks of the youth campers. 
 


 



 

Upcoming Events

Our next event will be a trip to Tallahasse on Monday, Aug. 10. OUr MSN website proposed schedule of events will be updated sometime in the near future. At this time, we are contacting campers by telephone and apprising them of our plans. The participants for the Tallahassee trip will be given information.

* Please note, primitive camping sites do not have water supplies or bathroom buildings. We have to carry in our water and dig latrines. Trips to primitive sites will be noted. Backpacking trips assume the camping will be primitive.
