This campout is generally the year’s best (some favor snowboarding!). Trip features tubing, water skiing, wake boarding or knee boarding with a boat. We camp on the beach and have great desert/lake views and roaring campfires. Motel is available for adults!

Weather
By this time of the year the temperature is still warm during the day while the air is cooling off at night. It can still be dang hot in the day (upper 80’s?), although current prediction seems moderate for weekend. We will set up shade structures but everyone should still be ready for heat. The water should be perfect.
