SUSQUEHANNOCK TRAIL CLUB’S ANNUAL CAMPOREE JULY 17-19, 2009 Time rolls around, and soon members will be gathering for a weekend of camping, hiking and fellowship at Ole Bull State Park. As a member of the STC here is your chance to have free camping, meeting old and new members, and enjoying “God’s Country.” Bring your tent or small trailer and enjoy the great outdoors. We gather in the group camping area and have a free weekend of camping by the PA DCNR Bureau of State Parks. It’s their way of saying thank you to our club for the many hours of trail maintenance our volunteer members spend on keeping the Susquehannock Trail System in good condition for park users and the hiking public. When the group gets together, there are organized hikes for those who wish to join with others. Or maybe you want to go fishing or swimming in Kettle Creek, or just be lazy and sit by the campfire and relax. Saturday evening at 6:00 PM, we always have a great dish-to-pass dinner in the large pavilion reserved for our use, door prizes, a short business meeting, and an interesting guest speaker, and a slide—or more often, these days—a PowerPoint show.
