The ABC Great Lakes Chapter 2nd Annual Summer Campout
Friday, July 31 to Sunday, August 1, 2010
Please join us over the weekend of July 30 - August 1, 2010, as we gather at Eby's Pines RV Park & Campground in Bristol, Indiana, as we meet and get to know other families living with Exstrophy. It is not too late to make a reservation, but in order to ensure that all our campsites will be together in the same area, please make your reservation and have your deposit paid by February 1, 2010. Please call the campground directly at 574-848-4583 to make your reservation.
Deposits may be paid for by credit card over the phone. Details on the campground amenities can be found at www.ebyspines.com , and more information about the campout can be found in the text below.
We hope to see you there! Please feel free to contact Alice Bass Ambrose with any questions or comments about this and any future activities.
Location and Facilities:
Eby's Pines RV Park & Campground in Bristol, Indiana is located in the scenic forests of northern Indiana's Amish Country. It is just minutes from the Indiana Toll Road. Campsites include tent sites, full hook-up sites, pull-thru sites, and cabins (see campground website for details about sites and amenities). Check the campground website, http://www.ebyspines.com , for 2010 rates.
Eby's Pines is close to shopping in Shipshewana, museums in Elkhart and Das Dutchman Essenhaus in Middlebury, to name just a few of the nearby area attractions. The campground offers two heated pools, fishing and playground equipment. Please see their website, http://www.ebyspines.com , to view complete activities offered by the campsite and surrounding area.
Activities:
Join us for a “meet and greet” with other families from our group beginning at 9:30 am on Sat., July 31. We will tentatively meet in the Shady Lane area of the campground, where we have reserved a block of sites under the “Ambrose group.” We then plan to meet there again for a Saturday evening potluck beginning at 6:00 p.m. Families with last name A-M, please bring a main dish; last name N-Z, please bring a salad or dessert.
Reservations:
To make your reservation, please call the campground at (574) 848-4583 and indicate that you are with the “Ambrose group.” (Eby's Pines has an on-line reservation system, however that system cannot manage group reservations like ours. Instead, please call the campground directly.) Please call the campground to make your reservation and have your deposit paid by February 1, 2010 to make sure that all our campsites will be together in the same area. Deposits may be paid for by credit card over the phone.
