Notes: Camp unofficially opens on Friday night to allow for setup, hanging out, and spending the night under canvas (if you prefer not to or cannot get a hotel room). This doesn’t have to be a hardcore “embrace the suck” thing, so if you have a nice sleeping bag rated for cold weather, tuck that up under your wool blanket! The program officially concludes after Saturday afternoon’s gathering at Barlow’s Knoll, but the bivouac will remain open to those who wish to hang out and stay over Saturday night.
