Elder Camps
Large Elder Camp located next to Elder Hub.
Map made by Larry Lynch and Sue Schaeffer
Once you become an Elder, you are eligible, but not required, to camp in the Elder designated sites. Space at Elder camp is very limited. The Elder camps only have tent spaces.
There are three designated Elder Camps
The large Elder Camp is located next to Elder Hub.
It is located in a forest with large trees, is close to showers and parking, but it is on a slight hill. Camping is for 18 and older only. This site has approximately 80 spaces.
The South Woods Elder Annex Tent Site (SWEATS) is a smaller site located near Miss Piggy's lot in the south woods. It is shady and has flat ground. It has access to toilets and showers close by, but no water or electricity.This site has approximately 10 spaces.
Del Boca Veneta is our newest camp and is also in the south woods, near Trotter's field. It is shady and has flat, although uneven ground in places. It has access to toilets and showers, (although showers are not that close) but no water or electricity. Camping for 18 and older only. This site has approximately 20 spaces and may grow to 30-35 camps.
If you wish to relocate to the HUB Elder Camp, please contact
eldercamphost@gmail.com.
If you wish to relocate to one of the South woods camps, (SWEATS and DBV) please contact eldercampdbv@gmail.com

Elder Camp History
Originally started by Kay Kintzley and Mary Barton. When they stepped back, Chris Browne took the job and Peggy Day was main assistant. When Chris Browne unexpectedly died, Peggy Day stepped up and automated much of the duties so that it would be easier for others to step in and help. Recently, Annemarie Hirsch joined Peggy as host, and now that Peggy has stepped back, Annemarie is the lead host.
Eric Nicholson is on the Elder Hub set up and take down team and is the lead person in pre-Fair poison oak removal. Larry Lynch created an accurate camp site map and has taken on the role of campsite lead handyperson.
