June 18-21, 2020: Camping at High Cliff State Park is CANCELLED. 

Wisconsin was not quite ready to let us social distance in the group camping spots. Better safe than sorry, I guess. See you in July (fingers crossed). 

​

July 12: Friars Annual Picnic has been CANCELLED.

While our picnic permit is still usable, eue to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no restroom facilities. We are talented but maybe not THAT talented.
