I looked at our proposed camp site this morning and it's looking very nice. We are looking at using the Fort Atkinson city park, it's about 4 miles from school (close), we will be the only group using it on that day, and the regulations are not as descriptive as they are here at school. The camp grounds were severely flooded last summer and it is just getting back in shape now. I will get a map on here when time gets closer. Jay
