  The Charley's Crab urban hike and Happy Hour is on for TUESDAY June 19. There is a chance of thunderstorms and if that happens we will walk in the COVERED WALKWAY  that runs from Van Andel Arena to Devos. Free and convenient parking at Charley's Crab with a  good happy hour enhances this hike. Please try to get to Charley's Crab at 5:30 as the goal is to start the hike no later than 5:40 pm so we can walk an hour and get back before 7:00 pm so happy hour is still on at Charley's. If you are running late you can park at Charley's and get a walk in or not and meet up with us at Charley's Crab to eat and drink.       

   Activities & Social Director John Zadvinskis  (616) 450-4793  Non hikers are welcome to join us at Charley's  Crab.

  Camping and paddling weekend  July 20-22, 2018.

  We are trying out a new location for our 2018 summer camping.  School Section Lake Park Campground is one hour north of Grand Rapids near Stanwood/ Canadian Lakes.  It is on a beautiful lake for nice swimming and paddling.  They also have a recreation area for baseball, volleyball, and basketball.

  This is always a fun summer weekend of camping and paddling. We will camp at School Section Lake and on Saturday take a 3-5 hour canoe/kayak trip down the Chippewa River starting at Buckley's (two options to choose from) followed up with a potluck dinner.  We enjoy bonfires both Friday and Saturday nights, and hang out at the beach on Sunday (and Friday afternoon if you arrive early).  Friday night dinner at a local restaurant is enjoyed by most. 

  If you prefer to just go canoeing/kayaking on Saturday, that is fine also.  

  Registration of $12/members or $15/non-members provides two breakfasts and meat for Saturday night potluck.  

  Register and pay online!
  

  Trip leader is Lynne Black lynneblack@tds.net
