Summertime...and the living is easy with the Friars.

OUR 2026 CAMPING SEASON IS SET!

There will be a one week advance commitment needed in 2026 due to cancellation fees enacted by the state park. ​

​Trips will go with a minimum of 6 campers.

​

Email us if you have questions about any of our summer activities.

Things you should know:

• We count on volunteers to help run and organize trips. Please take your turn to volunteer if you are able!

• Campfire wood is provided for all trips. For the sake of forests everywhere, do not transport wood to our camping trips.
  It must be purchased in or within 10 miles of state parks.

• All TENT camping trips cost $35-45 per person, which includes campground camping fees, firewood and coffee for breakfasts. Unless a trip leader is indicated, all other meals and meal prep are on your own. A trip leader indicates that Friars will provide meat for Saturday night dinner -- please consider bringing a side dish to share.

• Pets are not allowed on our trips. Neither are children.

• We do not supply adult beverages on our trips except coffee, tea, milk for breakfasts. Because everyone's preferences and habits vary widely, we ask that you bring your own beverages. 

• We start our trips on Thursday night (easier to get those reservations!) but you are welcome to join us on Friday if that's better for your schedule.

• We have a sign-up sheet for each trip for participants to help with garbage disposal, meal prep and clean-up. We all stay happier that way!

Note: most state parks require a daily entrance permit for your car. Annual/daily park permits are not included in the trip price and are the responsibility of each participant.
