Ppha camping/picnic weekend. Buttonwood
« on: February 18, 2013, 11:33:05 AM »
This years Camping/Picnic weekend will be May 17th, 18th, and 19th.  It will be held at the ButtonWood Campground  https://buttonwoodcamp.com/  This campground is in District 4 in a town called Mexico, PA  It is right off rte 322 by Port Royal.

Depending on the size of your tent, we may be able to fit two tents in one lot.  I would like for anyone planning on attending to make a post below stating that you will be attending, how many people and what day you will be arriving.  Remember you or one member of your group or family must be a PPHA member.  This will help us decide if we need to reserve more spots or not.

We will have a community tent this year same as last and the PPHA will be buying the bulk of the food.  As usual please bring any special dietary foods you may need.  Also if you want to bring anything to share with the group to help defer cost you may but do not have to.

Remember, you are welcome from any part of the state no matter what district you reside in.  We had a blast last year and this year should be even better.  Bring your wife or family also (immediate family only).  Any questions contact bigben or Lookn4fur via pm or email.

Bring all the gear you would normally bring when you camp.  There are showers there for those who wish to smell good    In addition we will be fishing, kayaking, and canoeing so bring any of that gear you may have.  There are rentals there if they are not all taken.  Please log onto buttonwoods site and check out all the activities available.  There is a lot for kids to do also.

Anyone that came last year can remember how much fun this was last year for all that showed up.

Our group rate is 6 dollars a person per night.  Anyone with a camper larger than a pop up must contact me.

     I have to work that weekend but I may burn a vacation day just to come and put some faces to online names.  I'm from York and I figure its about and hour and a half drive.  Is there any of the 3 days that is better than the others to plan a day trip?

     Also, If there is anyone close to the York area and would like to car pool for a day, let me know.

Saturday would be the best for a one day trip.  I'm not far from york but I'm going the whole weekend.
