Meals
This year, all of our meals will be served in our lodge, except for Saturday Supper, which will be in the camp cafe. Friday will be our potluck charcuterie, and we have a small team setting up simple meals for the rest of our time.




Trinity Pines offers an adventure course for $15 per person, with a minimum of 15 participants.
High Ropes focuses mainly on individual accomplishment as each participant progresses at their own pace. The course consists of  16 unique elements across 15’ and 30’ heights. Begin and end the adventure from the staircase or choose the rolling quick jump where you’ll descend 30 feet and finish with your feet on the ground.
If you would like to do this, please check this box; if we meet the minimum, we will contact everyone who signed up to let them know to add $15 to their total.

Each room has one queen bed and two bunk beds, for a total of six possible people. You can get a group together of six, or you can leave some or all of the roommate lines blank to be assigned a room. Please note that the fullness of the rooms will be determined by how many registrants sign up; there are 11 rooms total.
