Camping Information:
During the summer each weekend at The Point has a different Theme. Our weekends happen to coincide with the Point's Survivor Weekend in July, the Bear Jambouree in August and Seazies Awards Weekend in September. The themes brings lots of added fun, so feel free to bring your gear or just go bare as you dare.
This year at The Point you have to buy an annual membership to camp there and we will look after purchasing these for everyone who registers to camp with us, cost is $5.00 and this will be added to your camping fees for the weekend and the Membership is good for the whole season if you go back to The Point on your own later this season
Everyone who will join us during our camping weekends is expected to attend the trip-planning meeting for their chosen trip. During the meeting we will finalize the teams in charge of food-purchasing (prior to trip), meal-preparations & clean ups, as well as car and tent assignments. Make sure to let us know if you have a car (gas is paid for by riders), tent or gear, (Camp Kitchen and cooking items are provided), so we can do proper planning.
We are limited to 3 tents max per site plus our dining shelters and cook tent so you may end up being asked to share a tent with someone who has space in their tent instead of bringing your own. We have to book our group sites in March and try to anticipate the number of members who will be joining us each trip in order to have enough space available.
Each meal will have assigned teams for purchasing, cooking and cleaning, so not one person will be overburdened, and everyone will do their fare share of the work. The only exception to this will be Out-of-Towners, who will especially come in for the TNT!MEN camping weekends. They must communicate this with the organizers (Richard or Jim) in advance, so they can be given special instructions, instead of attending the planning meetings. Email Jim at events@tntmen.org
Coffee and water will be available during all times day and evening. Richard Thomson and Jim Griffin are in charge of making coffee for each meal.
Plus we usually have watermelon available Saturday afternoon as a snack and either Friday or Saturday evening we'll have a corn roast with fresh corn on the cob (depending on availability). And of course marshmallows to roast over the campfire.
We will have badminton, volleyball, twister and croquet at our site and decks of cards. The Point also has a campfire Friday night, and a dance on the Saturday night in their dance hall.
Meal crews are responsible for setting the menu, getting and hygenically storing and preparing the food, serving the food, and cleaning up afterwards and restoring the camp kitchen to pristine condition for the next crew. Each camper is responsible for washing their own plates and utensils at the wash station we will have set up. There will have 2 large coolers and ice available for storing food if you don't have a food cooler, and a shopping trip into Simcoe is planned for Saturday for those last minute supplies. Meal times are set and if you sleep in and miss breakfast....oh well!!
Camp Kitchen has 3 - 2 burner propane stoves (one for coffee), a propane griddle, and 2 BBQs, 2 coffee makers, pots, pans, cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, paper products (napkins and paper towels), sugar, milk, cream, ketchup, mustard, relish, and crisco oil. Anything special you require for preparing your meal, please supply it or let us know and if I have it I'll add it to the truckload of gear I'm bringing. Cooks, please remember lower heat and plastic utensils only for the teflon fry pans and pots.
