Riley is back for a visit on Saturday!
Starts: 09/12/2025 - Ends: 09/14/2025
Riley is a new friend of many of our regular campers. He is a certified therapy dog and will visit the campground on Saturday morning with his handler, Tammy. All campers, young and old, are invited to meet with him. You may pet him and possibly even assist with his grooming. His coat is wonderfully soft and fluffy!
There will also be many of our regular activities on the schedule: Tie-Dye, Hay Wagon Rides, Bingo, and Flashlight Candy Hunt!
This is the time to enjoy the last warm days of the season while embracing the early signs of autumn. It's an ideal period for camping and enjoying nature's beauty before the cooler temperatures set in. Will it be the first warming campfire of autumn or the last time running barefoot across the grass? Our planned activities on Saturday reflect the transition of the season.
