This is a tent-camping trip to a county park in Santa Barbara County.

Remember, a family, for family camping purposes, can be one to a dozen people, and a carful can come from more than one family.  Please contact  the church if you would like to share a ride or if you need to borrow camping equipment.  There are extra tents and other equipment “out there” to be borrowed.  Full instructions on driving, checking in, etc., will be provided to those who sign up.
