    Star Wars Weekend Camp is an overnight camp for kids in grades 2-8 who love Star Wars! This will be the fifth season hosting a Star Wars themed camp. The kids get dropped off Friday evening beginning at 6:00pm. They get picked up Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm. We spend the weekend playing Star Wars inspired games and activities including a LOT of dueling!!! The kids will bunk in cabins with assigned counselors while Northridge volunteers will bunk in Pilgrim's Lodge. Volunteers may spend the entire weekend, stay just one night or just come out Saturday for any part of the day. We have 9 rooms in the lodge with 3 bunks in each room. ALL meals are provided for Northridge volunteers!!!

    Northridge members who send their kids will receive 50% off (just $50 per child). Northridge volunteers, of course, attend FREE including all meals!!! Please post your availability. Thank you!!!

    Where: Dunkirk Camp and Conference Center, 3602 East Lake Rd., Dunkirk, NY 14048

    When: September 15-17, 2017 (you may arrive as early as 4:00pm on Friday to settle in)

    Sounds like a fun time! I don't have my schedule yet, but I will update ASAP. We're coming home from vacation that Friday, so it would have to be sometime Saturday-Sunday for me. Cory goes right back to work so he's out for sure.

    Sadly, as I think I may have said on the Facebook version of this post, as much as I love this event appearance, I'll be in Binghamton attending a Family Weekend sponsored by the university. Have a great time!

    We are also out as we will be attending the Walk on Saturday. If anyone is going up Friday and coming back for the walk, I could hitch with them, but otherwise we are not going to be there. Sorry.

    So as of now it looks like it will be Peter and Myself for Friday............Sat Bobby will join Peter and Myself ........Sun will be Bobby, Peter and Myself

    Maybe being Anna and Dave Bark along with Kate (sat-sun) Kevin R (fri - sat)


    Kind of a skeleton crew to handle 20 - 25 kids but I'm sure nothing these troopers cant handle. If gets to out of hand we have to Wookiee to rely on the take care of the kids since it s not nice to upset a Wookiee.

    Still plenty of time for people to try a arrange to make it, this event is a blast and leaves a lot of time open for North Ridge team bonding via, games, movies, conversation and friendship!!!!

    What to bring:

    If participating in the weekend's events, here is a list of items to bring:

    Sleeping bag/twin bed sized bedding
    Pillow
    Small Fan- it can get stuffy, some windows do not open
    Extension cord- minimal outlets in rooms
    Reading light if you like to read at night- lamps are not great
    Towels and shower toiletries
    Hiking attire
    Water shoes- the hike takes us to a beach but you have to wade through knee + deep water.
    Camping chairs (to sit by bonfire if there is one)

    And, yes Kevin, Star Wars costumes.
