Summary
Join us May 31 - June 2 for camping at Massachusetts' Tolland State Forest where we can enjoy Otis Reservoir by canoe or kayak and do some easy to moderate hiking.
Participants will need to make their own reservations at Reserve America. We have reserved site 008 for ourselves. I can help coordinate site sharing. Standard campsite occupancy is limited to four adults, or two adults and the children in their care. Campsites are limited to two tents, or one tent and one trailer or RV, and two vehicles maximum (including tow trailers/boats) per site, at most Massachusetts state campgrounds.
On Friday evening, we will host a welcome gathering and camp fire at our site. Snacks will be provided, but please bring your own beverages. Please note, alcohol is prohibited in all Massachusetts State Parks and Campgrounds.
We will make plans for our Saturday activities at our Friday night gathering. I will coordinate a potluck dinner for Saturday evening for those who are interested.
