Food Plan
Please plan to be self-sufficient for most meals and bring your own camping essentials.

On Your Own:
- Friday dinner
- Saturday lunch
- Saturday breakfast
- Sunday breakfast
The campsite has barrel fire pits, so bring kindling and firewood.
Activities
This is a relaxed, free-flowing, no-agenda kind of weekend. People naturally form groups and head out on adventures like:
- Hearts Desire Beach
- Point Reyes
- Tomales Bay
Some dads in past years have organized things like:
- Capture the Flag
- Arts & crafts
- Pickup games
- Campfire hangouts
If you’d like to organize an activity, bring it up at the next meeting or reach out. The more the merrier.
Weather & Packing Tips
Sun Protection:
The 400-loop campsites have very limited shade. Bring hats, sunscreen, and consider a pop-up canopy if you have one.
Cold Nights:
Even if the forecast looks warm, nights can dip into the low 40s. Pack layers, warm sleeping gear, and extra blankets just in case.
