February 18-20th
Silver Springs, FL
(directions: link on the right hand column; please note the link does NOT direct you to use the Maitland Blvd extension to the 429 to go around Apopka...TAKE the 429 North to 441, you'll save yourself 15-20mins.)
*As you're going up US 19, be aware of speed limits...usually several speed traps in the small towns!
*After you turn LEFT on to ST RD 40 (West), the camp entrance is approximately 11 miles ahead on the RIGHT...look for MILL DAM sign about 1/4 mile before the turn.
*Follow the signs to camp ground...you'll approach a gate (that should be locked) the Gate Code is 1683. ***Please close and lock the gate after you enter***
CALUSA discovered Mill Dam 2 years ago...what a find! The site is entirely ours for the weekend (no other Federation tribes). The grounds are canopied by old oaks...a wide sandy beach offers the kids a safe place to goof off....and the lake is great to explore by kayak or canoe ...locals say there are fish in the lake, CALUSA hasn't had much luck!
Saturday activities:
*craft
*nature walk
*beach games
*goof around time
*bike riding (although limited to the access road(s) around the camp site.
Camp Site
