July 25 - 27, 2008 - Parish Camping Trip

Yes, the weather forecasters promise us that that summer is coming (and not a minute too soon)! The annual Parish Camping Trip is scheduled for July 25–27 at Crazy Horse Campground in Brodhead, Wisconsin, about two hours from Oak Park. Located on the Sugar River, there is something for everyone: tubing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing are available as well as horseshoe pits, miniature golf range, driving range, batting cage, volley ball and basketball, arcade, camp store, pedal karts, petting zoo, pony rides, supervised crafts for kids, “all you can eat” ice cream on Sat. afternoon, hayride, kids’ movie on Saturday night, and bingo on Sunday.

 Numbers participating in this trip have grown each year and we always have a ball! You don’t have to know anyone else on the camping trip before you go – you’ll make alot of new friends by the end of the weekend! The campground provides kids’ crafts and a tie-dying activity on Saturday. On Friday night there is an “all you can eat” fish fry, on Saturday they provide an “all you can eat” spaghetti dinner, and on Sunday, an “all you can eat” pancake breakfast, so you really don’t need to bring much food with you. We may decide to have a “smorgasbord” type of supper on Saturday.

 The fee for a standard site is $74 plus tax for 2 nights; each site includes electric and water. If you don’t camp or have any gear, but wish to join the group, deluxe cabins or cottages are available. Our official headquarters is Site 72.

The deluxe cottages sleep six – eight people and have several rooms – front room with kitchenette (Microwave, toaster, coffee maker), full size sleeper sofa, sleeping loft, refrigerator, dishes and silverware for 8, master bedroom has queen bed. Bathrooms include shower. Rustic cabins sleep 6. Both cabins and cottages have air conditioning and covered front porches. You just bring linens and towels and any outdoor cooking utensils you’ll need.
