FCW-12 Flashaholics Camping Weekend is the 12th FCW and it is open to CPF members, family and friends!
Born out of the popular Photon Fest events, the FCW events have become an extremely successful series of flashaholic fun themselves. We must keep the tradition going.
WHEN: Thursday, September 17th - Sunday, September 20th, 2015 = 3 nights.
Check in time on Thursday 9/17 is no earlier than noon. Check out time is by noon on Sunday 9/20.
Should be wonderful cool camping weather.
WHERE: Voorhees State Park, Group Site A, 251 County Road Route 513, Glen Gardner, NJ 08809
Here is a link to the Voorhees State Park home page: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandf.../voorhees.html
Here is the campsite map: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandf...rhees-map.html
WHO: While this event is created for CPF members, family and friends are always welcome.
COST: The park has doubled it's fees to $100 per night for the group site, so we have to raise our rates a bit also. $25 per person to stay over one or more nights. $7 per person to visit for the day. Please RSVP on this thread or privately so I can know who to expect and how many. Then you can pay me via PayPal (PM me for the address) or pay cash when I see you.
We don't do this to make money, if there is any money left over (there never is) it will go towards giveaways, snacks, firewood, etc.
EQUIPMENT: Everyone will need to supply their own equipment or share or borrow from others.
FOOD: Everyone is responsible for their own food and drink. Although there always seems to be lots of sharing.
CELL PHONES: Yes, cell phones work fine from the camp site.
WHAT TO DO: Along with the usual camping agenda of relaxing by a campfire, roasting marshmallows, etc., there is day hiking, night hiking, biking, and there is an observatory in the park.
In the Voorhees state park has the New Jersey Astronomical Association Paul Robinson Observatory Buzz Aldrin Astronomical Center with its primary telescope that has a 26 inch diameter mirror. This fantastic observatory has public nights every Saturday from 8:30-10:30 PM which includes an observatory tour and telescope viewing.
Day visitors are welcome: If you are not into sleeping in a tent or cannot commit to that kind of time, it is fun to just visit for the day and sit by the campfire and relax for a while.
Voorhees is a NJ state park, and therefore there is no alcohol allowed. No pets are allowed either.
