Opt in for a river kitchen-style dinner on Friday night. Saturday, choose your own adventure! For the extreme adventurer, hop in a side by side with SRP to check out a flume in the woods. Or, get your steps in with Abe Springer and visit the Big Spring (sturdy footwear, outdoor clothing, and plenty of water recommended). A third option is to explore the Williams area water resources. Post-daytime activities, meet up at Historic Brewing Company for dinner, then head back to camp for a jam out under the stars.
