(directions links on the right hand column)
Cornfest kicks off the YMCA's "Eola Federation" camping season. Our girls, and dads, really enjoy this camp-out each year. The federation offers several activities during the day, Saturday, and that evening with each tribe will travel through the 7 AIMs stations at sunset. The night culminates with a massive bonfire and ghost stories by the Medicine Man.
Saturday day/night activities:
Pumpkin carving: Federation will hold a viewing contest in the evening.
Archery: each tribe will get the opportunity to go to the archery range.
Slip 'N Slide
Swimming: the camp has a pool.
Girls' Goof-around time: plenty of safe space!
"Name" plaques: for girls/dads who haven't completed one.
