About the Event
What is our goal?
We'll be camping at a group site in the park. Saturday morning we'll split into two groups for cave tours prior to lunch. After lunch we'll be giving back to the community by working on a service project for the park service (TBD, more details to come). Weather/time dependent, we'll also check out some of the trails the park has to offer and maybe some stargazing as well.
