After days of planning, counting down, and looking forward to this weekend, the time is finally here!
This year's theme is Adventure, because adventures come in all shapes and sizes. Some happen on mountain trails, some happen around the dinner table, and some happen during epic games of Hide & Seek and LRC!

Siblings — watch for a separate text with all the travel logistics.
Check-in Thursday, July 16 at 4:00 PM. Address will be sent via text. Rooms are pre-assigned — look for the sign with your name on the door.
Review the menu below — each family is signed up to provide specific drinks and snacks.
Bring a day pack to carry water and snacks on the family adventures.
The hikes are in red dirt — it stains everything! Bring "red dirt" adventure shoes, shorts, and a tee-shirt you don't mind ruining. Anything old works great.
Games like LRC will require everyone to have an individually wrapped item (gummy bears, candy, gum, nuts) — or bring a bunch of nickels (no pennies; nickels are the lowest denomination).
Every night we'll do a family walk-through and tidy-up time, including a quick bathroom wipe down.
At the house we'll also enjoy:
